Time and the Riddle: Thirty-One Zen Stories

A collection of Fast’s best short fiction, from science fiction and fantasy to philosophy and suspense This collection of short stories encompasses twenty years of work by Howard Fast, including some of his best-known and most treasured tales. Not merely fantasy or science fiction, these “Zen stories” explore the world’s mysterious and unanswerable questions, big and small, and the results are at once bizarre, humorous, chilling, and poignant. An American general shoots down what appears to be an angel during a Vietnam War battle, a celebrated author becomes a hunted man, and a mouse is granted human thought and emotion by a group of alien beings. The thirty-one stories in Time and the Riddle showcase Fast’s range and supreme talent as a storyteller. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author’s estate.
