I'm browsing old SF anthologies and am truly impressed by the editorial shade Le Guin and Attebery throw at Campbellian SF. Just look who ISN'T in this allegedly comprehensive survey volume of American SF! https://library.villanova.edu/Find/Record/431891/TOC …

I guess since they take 1960 as their start date it isn't so harsh as that. 'Golden Age' was over, for better or worse. Still.

Arguably. Though she was on that from the get go. What a collection, though. Wow! Also, The house the Blakeneys built / Avram Davidson is the single creepiest story I've ever read. Had forgotten how much I love him.

I've never read that. The only one I know is "The Golem", which is kinda ... slight. (But inoffensively so.)

That one's ringing a bell but I can't quite bring to mind. I'm pretty sure it's in the Avram Davidson Treasury that
@henryfarrell lent me some years ago - which is hugely worth a read.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Eh, I'd skip it. It's a joke story and it just isn't very funny. Frankenstein's monster meets an old Jewish couple.

The Dr. Eszterhazy stories are where I would start. The Schlomo Stove story in the Treasury is also lovely, and "All the Seas with Oysters" a deserved classic. "Help!, I am Dr. Morris Goldpepper" is slight, but delightful in its premise.

One thing I'd love to know is if the Coens were aware of Dr. Morris Goldpepper when they wrote A Serious Man. There's a real echo.
