"The games he plays with the many forms that stories can take are as delightful as ever, and they never get in the way of him going right to the heart of things-- in fact they are his way of seeing the world, and his gift to us." --Kim Stanley Robinson "Ken Schneyer is a fearless explorer of the genres and his discoveries are treasures, one and all.I'm a lifelong student of the short form and I'm here to report the arrival of another master." --James Patrick Kelly, winner of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus Awards "By turns whimsical, moving and disturbing--always thought-provoking--Schneyer's unique visions reveal myriad glimpses into the human heart." --E.C. Ambrose, author of The King of Next Week "Ken Schneyer's collection is full of many gorgeous little stories (including one of my all time favorites, 'Selected Program Notes from the Retrospective Exhibition of Theresa Rosenberg Latimer.') Each story is a carefully crafted puzzle box to be cracked open, revealing new insights into the world in all its complexity.

" --Tina Connolly, author of On the Eyeball Floor and Other Stories. "From 'Some Pebbles in the Pond, ' the meta-meditation on stories and lives that opens Anthems Outside Time, to 'Dispersion, ' the heartbreaking, all-too-real fantasy that closes it, the stories in Kenneth Schneyer's new collection show a profound understanding of the craft of short stories, and an equal understanding of the people (and occasional dragon) who inhabit them. As at home in an art gallery as he is in a spaceship, Schneyer cares deeply about the world and seeks to understand it as best he can. Through these marvelous tales, he helps us do the same." --F. Brett Cox, author of The End of All Our Exploring: Stories.
