New Maps: More Uncollected John Sladek

Stories, essays, reviews and unclassifiable weirdness by the science fiction author John Sladek, compiled and edited by David Langford. New Maps contains a great deal of newly discovered material -- especially nonfiction -- not included in the critically acclaimed Maps: The Uncollected John Sladek (2002), also edited by David Langford. John Sladek, who died in 2000, was one of science fiction's wittiest satirists. New Maps shows that his essays and reviews are as irresistibly readable as his stories and novels. "If you were to mix Dave Barry’s humor with Georges Perec’s limitless ingenuity, you’d still fall short of the actual John Sladek." (Michael Dirda on New Maps in the Washington Post, 1 May 2019)
