Description

Sides by Peter Straub

Over twenty years in the making, Sides represents the first ever collection of non-fiction by bestselling author Peter Straub. Featuring introductions, essays, afterwords, and even a "frivolity"—along with the collected works of Putney Tyson Ridge, Straub's "self-invented human speed bump and alter ego"—this collection presents a rare glimpse into the author's tastes and personal musings on a wide gauntlet of topics ranging from The Stepford Wives and Dracula to Lawrence Block and Stephen King.

Also included is "The Fantasy of Everyday Life", Straub's Guest-of-Honor speech at the 1998 International Conference of the Fantastic in the Arts, and "Mom", an essay that appeared in a book that combined short stories written by mother-son partnerships with essays written by male writers about their mothers.

The "frivolity" here, "Why Electricman Lives in New York", was written for an anthology celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of New York is Book Country.

This long awaited collection closes with Putney Tyson Ridge's reviews and commentaries on virtually every Peter Straub novel published since the 1970s.
