			        		&#x201C;One of those rare novels that manages to be at once dazzling and tender.&#x201D; &#x2015;Michael Chabon on Dying Inside&#x201C;Dying Inside is an artist&apos;s summit that doubles as an intimate allegory of the artist&apos;s quandary.&#x201D; &#x2015;Jonathan Lethem&#x201C;Now widely regarded as Robert Silverberg&apos;s masterpiece, Dying Inside, first published in 1972, has just been reissued in a handsome trade paperback with a new preface by its author, one of science fiction&apos;s most distinguished writers . . . It&apos;s insane that Dying Inside should be subtly dismissed as merely a genre classic. This is a superb novel about a common human sorrow, that great shock of middle age -- the recognition that we are all dying inside and that all of us must face the eventual disappearance of the person we have been.&#x201D; &#x2015;Michael Dirda, Washington Post&#x201C;Silverberg has written the perfect science fiction novel for people who don&apos;t like science fiction.&#x201D; &#x2015;The New York Times Book Review on Dying Inside

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Existential Angst - Bleh
  

*by S***C on May 8, 2019*









  
  
    According to the New York Times reviewer this is the perfect science fiction novel for people who don’t like science fiction. In other words, it’s a mainstream novel that happens to include some speculative elements. If I had known that I was going to be reading a depressing account of a man whose whole life has been an unending mess with no redeeming aspects, I would not have spent the money. There are plenty of other authors regaling us with the meaningless futility of our existence who at least throw in a laugh or two to leaven the grim reality. I didn’t finish the book because it was clear that nothing interesting or inspiring was ever going to happen. And, yes, the science fiction is pretty darn thin. So I will maybe try another Silverberg. Some of his stuff is pretty good IMO. But stay away from this one unless you are in need of cutting down on the happiness and enjoyment of your life. A bummer from start to (non)finish.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A haunting book with an original story
  

*by D***C on January 1, 2019*









  
  
    This book has haunted me for many years since I first read it over 20 years ago, so I recently reread it. A 40ish Jewish intellectual who writes college term papers for a living and can read people’s minds is the protagonist. The ability to read minds has been more of a curse than a blessing though. However, his powers are fading and soon he will lose the ability altogether. It really makes you think about the consequences of having this ability. Spooky and uplifting at the same time.
  


### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The end of a blessing-curse
  

*by K***H on June 30, 2017*









  
  
    As someone struggling with a chronic disease, I found this book very compelling. What happens when what has been both your life's bane as well as your defining feature goes away? Are you relieved? Saddened? Off-kilter?Silverberg writes beautifully, and the book is unique.
