The Square Root Of Man

Description for THE SQUARE ROOT OF MAN by William Tenn:

Part of a six-volume publication in celebration of William Tenn, THE SQUARE ROOT OF MAN contains some of his earliest work, including the very first story ever published, "Alexander the Bait," from 1946.  Even then, Tenn's wry sense of humor was in evidence.  By comparison, this collection also contains a rather wistfully acid comment on the latest scene, "The Lemon-Green Spaghetti-Loud Dynamite-Dribble Day."  If you think it impossible to be both wistful and acid at the same time, you should read William Tenn.  And especially his first full-length novel, OF MEN AND MONSTERS.
