Author's Comments

In "Nightfall and Other Stories," Asimov claimed that any "parlor psychologist" would claim that this story is highly indicative of underlying sexual tensions, but he dismissed this notion as ludicrous.

Famous quotes containing the words author and/or comments:

    “Th’ increasing prospect tires our wand’ring eyes.
    Hills peep o’er hills, and Alps on Alps arise!
    A perfect Judge will read each work of Wit
    With the same spirit that its author writ:
    Survey the Whole, nor seek slight faults to find
    Where nature moves, and rapture warms the mind;”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
