The City on the Sand Summary
| On an alternate Earth of political chaos and harsh atmospheric extremes, Ernst Weinraub sullenly idles away his days and nights at the Caf? de la F?e Blanche. A carefully administered intake of alcohol fuels the regretful daydreams of the aging European as he mourns the loss of his creativity as a literati, his loves as man of passion, and his freedom as a permanent resident of an isolated city surrounded by the deadly heat and fiery sands of the 3000-mile wide African desert. [Publisher Note: This is the author's original, unedited version of "The City on the Sand"--more than 1000 words longer than its first publication in 1973.] Hugo Award Nominee |
