Majipoor Chronicles
by Robert Silverberg, 275pgs, paperback
Amazon site
Official Grade: B-
I think this book was better than the first Majipoor novel I read. Not sure why. Maybe because it has a handful of short stories instead of one long narrative. Maybe because it looks back on some interesting stories through out the history of Majipoor and give you a view of different times and places in that world. Plot: After Hissune is elevated into his government job by the re-throned Lord Valentine, he becomes bored of the tedious work and finds amusement and education by sneaking into the archives that hold memory records from millions of people in the history of Majipoor. We learn some of their tails along with him.
