New Folks' Home: And Other Stories
Simak, Clifford D
In the collection’s
title story, Frederick Gray is closing in on seventy and has outlived
his usefulness as a professor of law. He has no family; his best friend,
fellow faculty member Ben Lovell, has recently died. Before Gray moves
into a retirement home, he takes a final canoe trip to a favorite
fishing spot he and Lovell had visited many times, only to find that
someone has built a house on the remote riverside. When an accident
leaves Gray stranded and in pain, he returns to the shelter seeking aid
and instead finds a new reason for living.
Nine additional
tales showcase Clifford D. Simak’s talent for spinning stories that
allow us to glimpse the possibilities of life beyond Earth as well as
expand our wisdom of what it means to be human.
Each story
includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the
Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.
