был заявлен в середине 1970-х гг., но <…> так и не нашел издателя. Собственное творчество Эллисона, ограниченное почти исключительно произведениями короткой формы, представляет собой уникальную смесь «твёрдой» (естественнонаучной), «мягкой» (гуманитарной), абсурдистской, сатирической и всевозможных других разновидностей НФ; вместе с подобной разносторонностью интересов Эллисон один из немногих в американской НФ обладает собственным писательским «голосом», который трудно спутать с чьим-либо ещё.
Ирреальным, полубезумным отражением мира в человеческом «я».

“He had writer's block once. It was the worst ten minutes of his life.”

Вариант: Most writers hate to write, and will grasp any excuse to do something else … There are exceptions. Isaac Asimov actually was never happier than sitting at a keyboard — first, his old typewriter; then, the TRS-80; and later, a more conventional PC. But then, Isaac was unusual, and his experience with writer's block was the worst 10 minutes of his life.

And it was an icicle just jammed into my chest. That my own mother—and with cause! It was not as if I was the greatest kid in the world. I was a troublemaker! I was a brat! I was a big-mouth pain in the ass! But that my own mother would not understand—at that moment I had what, now at age seventy-two I understand, was an enormous epiphany, which is: I really cannot support it, I cannot bear it, when people laugh at me.
