The Palace at Midnight: The Collected Stories of Robert Silverberg, Volume Five

by Robert Silverberg ...

Somehow, for all my outward pretence of cold-eyed professionalism, all my insistence that writing is simply a job like any other, I've discovered to my surprise and chagrin that there's more than that going on around here, that I write as much out of karmic necessity and some inescapable inner need to rededicate my own skills constantly to my—what? My craft? My art? My profession? I wrote these ... Read more

I had come through my own angry four-year-long retirement from writing in the middle 1970s, and was working again at a steady pace, though not with the ... Read more

To The Dark Star: The Collected Stories of Robert Silverberg, Volume Two

by Robert Silverberg ...

This story, "To See the Invisible Man," written in June of 1962, marks the beginning of my real career as a science-fiction writer, I think. The 1953-58 stories collected in To Be Continued, the first of this series of volumes, are respectable professional work, some better than others but all of them at least minimally acceptable--but most of them could have been written by just about anyone. ...
