Unaccompanied Sonata and Other Stories

Unaccompanied Sonata and Other Stories (1980) is a collection of short stories by American writer Orson Scott Card. Although not purely science fiction and definitely not hard science fiction, the book contains stories that have a futuristic angle or are purely works of fantasy set in current times. All the stories except “The Porcelain Salamander” were first published elsewhere before appearing in the Unaccompanied Sonata collection. All eleven of these stories were later published in Maps in a Mirror.

Story list

The short stories in this book are:

gollark: You're not *obligated* to or I would complain more.
gollark: Also, you should contribute the thing back to open source such that future people will be able to build on your thing.
gollark: Just use your thing on itself an arbitrary number of times.
gollark: It seems like it's able to beat zstd and brotli a bit on that input, although I haven't checked if it actually decompresses right.
gollark: It *does* seem like it could be quite good if not optimized for hypermicrosizes of the decompressor.
