Robert Silverberg, ed.

Warner Books, 1987

Like The Mirror of Infinity, this volume combines stories with critical analysis, but this time Silverberg provides all the critical essays, and does so in the context of personal reminiscences about his career and the development of his own standards for what constitute good science fiction stories. The book opens with a 34-page autobiographical essay, "The Making of a Science-Fiction Writer."
