Here Isaac Asimov, the renowned writer and storyteller, takes you behind the scenes to his work -- and to his life -- revealing the rare blend of an original mind and rich personality that has made him one of the biggest names in science fiction today.
Together with twenty-four little-anthologized stories by the grand master is his biographical commentary on each of them. They form a unique autobiography from the early '50s right on up to the present.  
Here's Isaac Asimov the punster, in "Shah Guido G" (doling out punishment even in the title); Isaac Asimov the romantic, in "Everest" (an impromptu exercise written on a dare from a beautiful editor); Isaac Asimov the dreamer, in "A Statue for Father" (written as a plot to keep his mind off a dreaded vacation); and Isaac Asimov the extraordinary, in twenty-one other marvelously inventive tales of fiction and fantasy.
