Book Reviews of Greatest Science Fiction Stories of the 20th Century
Book Review: I love "why I left Harry's..." - by WATT-EVANS
Summary: 4 Stars
I love "Why I left Harry's All Night Hamburgers" by Lawrence Watt-Evans. I also really enjoy the performance of Will Wheaton (reader). It's been a while since I could find my copy, but I used to listen to this story once a week. The Editorial Review is right about this collection being incorrectly named, this isn't representative of the "Greatest ... of the 20th Century", but I remember most being pretty good, and I just can't forget "Why I left Harry's...". It's charm, for me, is the way it brings magic and mystery into a very commonplace existence. A young guy who feels trapped by his rural/small-town life and wants out. (CAUTION: SPOILER) He discovers that the local diner, his McJob, is actually an interdimensional/interstellar travelers' rest-stop. It might be a way for him to escape his frustrating life.
