From Booklist
Kornbluth (1923^-58), one of the grand figures in American science fiction, began writing prolifically for the pulps and matured into one of the most thought-provoking writers of the 1950s. This delightfully hefty tome includes all the short fiction he wrote alone, which means some good work is excluded, since he collaborated widely. But most of the collaborations are available elsewhere, and what is here is the work of a writer who had no peer in sf for examining the human condition in a multitude of moods (and under a multitude of pseudonyms), from the inspired wackiness of "The Advent on Channel Twelve" to the troubled and murky ethical pondering of "Two Dooms." Yet more delightful, at least to the aficionado and the completist, is the inclusion of early professional hackwork, which allows comparison of quick work done to an editor's requirements and the achievements of the same writer producing at the height of his considerable powers. A welcome addition to sf library collections. Dennis Winters
From Library Journal
Szczesuil, a member of the New England Science Fiction Association, here compiles all of Kornbluth's solo and pseudonymous works published in the pulp magazines. The 56 stories are full of Kornbluth's cynicism and abrasive wit. Regrettably, they are not chronologically arranged, obscuring Kornbluth's development as a writer. Still, this is highly recommended.

Blast from the past sci fi,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: His Share of Glory (Gebundene Ausgabe)
If you're looking for a compilation of insightful short sci fi stories, then this book is for you. Kornbluth was way ahead of his time and these stories are not of the cheesy variety as most "golden age" sci fi seems to be. Check it out, it'll be worth your time.

One of the best writers of SF of all time.,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: His Share of Glory (Gebundene Ausgabe)
Cyril Kornbluth's name should rank with Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Robert Silverberg, and many others who are the great wise old ones of Science Fiction. Instead, due to his untimely death in the 1950's... he is forgotten. Today, we see that he could perdict the future in many ways. His story "The Marching Morons" shows this all too clearly. If it were not for Fred Pohl, Kornbluth would likely be totally forgotten by now. Get this book and read it. Then, get the Space Merchanants by Pohl and Kornbluth and read that. Classics of SF that all but forgotten, and they shouldn't be. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Rezension bezieht sich auf: His Share of Glory (Gebundene Ausgabe)
CM Kornbluth (with or without Pohl) was one of the finest and most prolific of the fifties sf writers. His biting wit (especially later on) and sardonic turn on events reminded me of Twain or Swift, although his subject matter wasn't the same (of course). See "the Little Black Bag", probably his most famous. Or search out the story that ends "here they come with an insulting thick rope.." No, you gotta read it to find out which one. Or "I know a word that will explode this planet like a stick of dynamite in a rotten apple". Great command of language and dovetailing character to subject matter-way ahead of his time.
