A review by mathew
Approaching Oblivion by Harlan Ellison

3.0

A very mixed bag. Some stories that are as dark and disturbing as the intro lead me to expect, a couple that haven’t aged well, a couple that are melancholy and lyrical, and a couple that feel like filler. I don’t object to a shaggy dog story peppered with Yiddish about an eleven armed Jewish alien, but it isn’t really approaching oblivion.
