Finding this entry a few years after the fact (as I google Northwestward). <br /><br />You might be interested to know that Northwestward was also included in another compilation beyond the Batman anthology and Return of the Black Widowers - it was released in the 1996 compilation "Magic," focusing on Asimov's fantasy work and fantasy essays.

I'd like to read some more, as the actual writing is so good, but I guess that I'll just have to enjoy them for the writing rather than the plotting.Sextonblakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-70707969331978103462012-06-15T16:51:16.114-04:002012-06-15T16:51:16.114-04:00If you liked this one, you should read "The U...If you liked this one, you should read "The Ultimate Crime," which is a Black Widower story with a Sherlockian theme. Or actually, it focuses more on Moriarty. <br /><br /><i>The Return of the Black Widowers</i> also has a pastiche, entitled "The Lost Story," in which the Black Widowers help the SF writer-turned-anthologist from "Lost in a Space Warp" looking for a lost Isaac Asimov story. It was penned by Charles Ardai and it's one of the best pastiches I have ever read. Absolutely spot-on and a beautiful tribute to Asimov. <br /><br />You should read and review that particular collection, Patrick. Would love to know what you think of the other stories.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
