Isaac Asimov’s Gold (and other stories)

It’s unfortunate that I’m coming to this after the very unsatisfactory collection of “fantasy” stories (Asimov never wrote fantasy: he wrote satire), because this was another disappointment.

    Approfitto del tuo blog per mandarti tanti auguri di buon compleanno. Ti avevo scritto prima di Natale, ma non so se il mio email ti sia mai arrivato! In ogni caso, io non sono sparita del tutto. Un abbraccio, Raffaella.

    @ Raffaella: grazie degli auguri, effettivamente non ho ricevuto nessuna e-mail prima di Natale! Mi fa piacere che tu non sia sparita: se passi dall’Italia (o da Israele, a questo punto), fammi un fischio.

    @ Ragno rosso: certo che gradisco gli auguri! E tuttavia sono ormai giunta a quell’età in cui il conteggio degli anni rimane quello dell’anno precedente.

    @ Pirkaff: io sono combattuta, anche questa versione ha il suo fascino.
