Connie Willis is the master of the science fiction novella,
from seminal efforts such as "Blued Moon," "Fire Watch,"
"The Last of the Winnebagos," and beyond. "Inside Job" takes
its place on that permanent shelf, a tale of spiritualists,
séances, skeptics, and a love that just might be able to
rise about it all.
"Willis spins an absorbing tale that explores the world of
debunkers and their quarry while paying a delightful homage
to literary curmudgeon and brilliant essayist H.L. Mencken.
A consummate storyteller whose novels (e.g., To Say Nothing
of the Dog) combine serious themes with sparkling comic
relief, Willis grows even better in her short fiction,
bringing to this novella both richness and integrity. Highly
recommended." -- Library Journal
