A very admirible collection,but "precious Artifact" is the best by a few miles.I know there's supposed to be a film made of the story in the titular title of the book,the modern fable of a mutant who seems to be an atavar of the golden Greek god,Apollo,but I think there'd be better off making a film of this other one.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if they could keep to the letter of the original tale,but the'd proberly muck up it up anyway.
