Praised, revered, and even envied by the likes of Bradbury, Vonnegut, and King, his short stories contain some of his best work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \"Thunder and Roses,\" soon after a nuclear Holocaust, a starlet gives one final performance during which she makes an odd request of the few remaining survivors. In perhaps his most praised story, \"The Man Who Lost the Sea,\" a man riffs on memory and experience on the way to the story's powerful conclusion. And in the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning masterpiece, \"Slow Sculpture,\" a young woman with a lump in her breast chances upon a strange healer.
