Blurb: “Look up "vintage" and the dictionary will tell you "the crop of a single season," or an alternate definition: "choice."

That's the definition I like the best. And I'd like to say that every one of the dozen stories here (from the crop of 1960-1979) is a top-notch example of the storyteller's craft. All right, get off my back, I won't say that, okay?

The thing you can say about anyone's vintage stories is that they reflect the state of the art at the time. That doesn't mean we were all writing in the same manner, but it does mean that what we did both formed-and reflected-what was going on in the heads of writers, editors and readers in 1960, say, or 1975.

Some of my stories (FIl speak for myself here, but you know what I mean) hold up well today, while others more fully-and sometimes too well-reflect their own time. But that's the point, of course: thar's what they were supposed to do, and that's why the editors bought them.
