Summary
Few authors have had careers as successful as that of Connie Willis. Inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and recently awarded the title of Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Willis is still going strong. Her smart, heartfelt fiction runs the gamut from screwball comedy to profound tragedy, combining dazzling plot twists, cutting-edge science, and unforgettable characters From a near future mourning the extinction of dogs to an alternate history in which invading aliens were defeated by none other than Emily Dickinson; from a madcap convention of bumbling quantum physicists in Hollywood to a London whose Underground has become a storehouse of intangible memories both foul and fair.
Here are the greatest stories of one of the greatest writers working in any genre today. All ten of the stories gathered here are Hugo or Nebula award winners - some even have the distinction of winning both. With a new Introduction by the author and personal afterwords to each story, plus a special look at three of Willis' unique public speeches - this is unquestionably the collection of the season, an audiobook that every Connie Willis fan will treasure, and, to those unfamiliar with her work, the perfect introduction to one of the most accomplished and best-loved writers of our time.
The full list of narrators includes Graham Winton and Suzy Jackson.

Make no mistake -- this is the real thing
The speculative fiction of Connie Willis is a good as it gets. This collection ranges across the whole of the writer's many moods, from the bleak realism of The Windows of Marble Arch, to the frothy silliness of All Seated on the Ground. Many of her best-known stories are here, including Firewatch and The Last of the Winnebagos.
To make a great collection even better, every one of the narrators does a wonderful job, and has a voice well-matched to the character.
This is wonderful. Why isn't there more like this on Audible? Or anywhere?
