Jewish science fiction?!! YES! And why should we be surprised? After all, how much of a stretch is it between Noah collecting paired biological samples and sailing off in an ark to unknown lands following a cataclysmic natural disaster and the Starship Enterprise boldly going where no one has gone before?
Some of the stories in editor Jack Dann’s collection are enduring and familiar; some read like a Yiddish theater group cast to play an episode of “Star Trek.” The authors included range from Bernard Malamud and Isaac Bashevis Singer to Isaac Asimov and Harlan Ellison with contributions from William Tenn, Pamela Sargent, Avram Davidson and Carol Carr.
