The Rhinoceros Who Quoted Nietzsche and Other Odd Acquaintances

by Peter S. Beagle

The Rhinoceros Who Quoted Nietzsche and Other Odd Acquaintances Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This overview of Peter Beagle's extraordinary career as a fantasist contains seven short stories and three essays as well as a new preface by the author. It also features the original whimsical Chesley Award-winning cover illustration by talented Bay Area artist Michael Dashow. "The Last Unicorn, Beagle's most beloved novel, was an underground bestseller in the late 1960s and 1970s. This collection includes two of Beagle's popular unicorn stories, "Professor Gottesman and the Indian Rhinoceros" and "Julei's Unicorn," as well as "Lila the Werewolf," which is anthologized in the "Oxford Book of Fantasy, and a tribute to J. R. R. Tolkien, "The Naga."

Review:

"This collection proves just how essential Beagle is to modern fantasy. Without Beagle's early example we'd have no Blaylock or Powers. . . . A story like 'The Naga' is worthy of inclusion in the Arabian Nights." (Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine)

Synopsis:

- Author tour to include Berkeley, Davis, Oakland, Sacramento, and San Francisco
