Jack Vance: The Moon Moth and Other Stories (2012, Spatterlight Press LLC)

Review of 'The Moon Moth and Other Stories' on 'Goodreads'

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.
