Simak’s skill as a writer shows in what he gets away with in this book. Hank Fisher is shown as a brutal troublemaker.

His rural folk, like his friend the mailman, are well portrayed but not whitewashed. Simak, as usual, describes the area around his hometown of Millville, Wisconsin wonderfully.

Simak does a wonderful job of conveying alienness yet still gives his aliens a commonality with man.Įnoch Wallace is an interesting man dealing with loneliness and the conflict between his home Earth and the world of wonder and friendship he has found with alien beings. It’s a relatively simple story - Enoch Wallace runs a teleportation transport station for travellers of a galactic federation and, through a modest set of events, this secret is revealed to Earth and humanity joins this co-fraternity of sentient beings. This, like all the Simak I’ve read, was pleasant and engaging. Raw Feed (1991): Way Station, Clifford D. Simak is one of the science fiction writers I’ve been reading longest, but I’d have to re-read several titles to say anything intelligent. Since who knows when I’ll get around to doing a through coverage of Simak, we’ll start with this one.
