Fascinating Arthur C. Clarke Signed Short Story
<B>Fascinating Arthur C. Clarke Signed Short Story.</B></I> Typescript with ANS on title page for the short-short story "siseneG," double-signed, 2 pages, on dot-matrix printer paper and still connected at perforation. Clarke's handwritten comments read, "<I>This is the only short story I've written in ten years or so. I think you'll agree that they don't come much shorter. Arthur C. Clarke 21 March 84</B></I>." Following, lower on the page, "<I>(Appearing in Analog, ? 1984) © Arthur C. Clarke 1984</B></I>." Arthur C. Clarke was one of science fiction's "Big Three" names in the mid to late twentieth century. "siseneG" displays Clarke's little-known sense of humor and dry wit. This 31 word short-short was published in <I>Analog</B></I> magazine in May, 1984, and in book form in <I>The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke.</B></I> The paper is in fine condition, with two horizontal folds due to mailing. Truly rare chance to acquire a wonderful double-signed piece from the man Ray Bradbury called "one of the true geniuses of our time."
