A strong collection of SF stories, all Nebula nominated in '71. If a theme can tie them together, it might be ... and they were never really there... or, better yet,Attenuated Worlds--cliché by today's standards maybe, but the sense of storytelling delight from Russ (a teen girl uses fiction to escape life) and Wolfe (little boy uses life to escape fiction) celebrates a fandom raised on SF as respite from the ugly world. All are good, including the award-winning Sturgeon piece, except the Leiber Ffhhharrd and Mouse (or whatever you call them), which was best for reminding me I had a desk drawer to organize.
