Some tourists can spend days in a fishing village rhapsodizing over everything the locals do - going to market, mending nets, social rituals of all kinds - and I reproached myself for not being like that, for not having passed on to my sons the generous curiosity, the acuity of observation I admire in people like Nicolas Bouvier, the Swiss traveler and writer.
It has such a generous curiosity about life, and such a commitment to the group's dynamics, that singling out a few characters seems a little unfair.

This generous anthology ranges from long-forgotten curiosities, like W. E. B. Du Bois's short story "The Comet," to science fiction classics like Samuel R. Delany's "Aye, and Gomorrah...". to vibrant new work by Nalo Hopkinson.
This generous friend loves to share.
The world, he thinks, this generous world.
Some of the stories in this generous anthology are new; some are science fiction classics, like "Aye, and Gomorrah...," by Samuel R. Delany, and "The Evening and the Morning and the Night," by Octavia E. Butler; a few are long-forgotten curiosities, like "The Comet" (1920), by W. E. B. Du Bois, and George S. Schuyler's 1931 novel, "Black No More," from which Thomas provides an excerpt.
