FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER WITH DUSTJACKET. Lots of writers have written stories about storytelling, but few are as fresh and funny as this 1972 work. Effinger, who emerged as a real talent during SF's "New Wave" era, sets his first novel on a distant colony world called simply Home. The narrator is Seyt, a son of the very first family to settle on the planet. While the story is thick with religious and mythological significance, it is also enhanced by Effinger's trademark humor. "What Entropy Means to Me" was nominated for the Nebula Award, and Effinger (1947 - 2002) went on to gain fame for his cyberpunk "Marîd Audran" trilogy.

"Because it's there ..." That was why Earth men climbed Mt. Everest and why, in 2017, they set out for the distant star, Wolf 359. They learned in 1988 that intelligent inhabitants from a planet orbiting Wolf 359 had been signalling Earth. That fact was reason enough to dispatch a manned and womaned probe to explore and investigate. But perhaps there was another reason for the journey. A reason too incredible for Earth people ever to imagine. A reason they might never understand even when they land on the planet they call Jennings' World.

Initially defending himself with a torch, the Doctor searched frantically for a new method of defense. The crimson mass is lunging forward using long, tentacle-like attachments: what is that thing?  Slowly the subhuman blob comes in to focus, and Dore realizes . . . it's a colossal radish! This is a monster never before wrestled with; what are they going to do?  After reading this vegetative tale, you won't look at your garden the same way again..
