Dysmorphia reviewed The Moon Moth and Other Stories by Jack Vance
Review of 'The Moon Moth and Other Stories' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The title story, The Moon Moth, is brilliant and has aged very well. I reviewed the story on my blog in detail rinsemiddlebliss.com/posts/2023-05-12-review-moon-moth-rose-house/
The other stories vary in both in how creative they are and how well they have aged--by which I mean mostly are they unthinkingly reproducing early 20th century American ideas of a family, social structure, and gender roles. Dodkin's Job was fun, and The Men Return was one of the fucking weirdest thought experiments I've read in a while. I still think the main reason to buy this book is to have your own copy of the brillinant and perfect title story, The Moon Moth.
