New Yorker Writer Berton Roueche

Hey, both books are excellent. The previous comment is for Phillip Jose Farmer's Riverworld. Berton Roueche was a writer for the New Yorker for nearly 40 years. The 13 articles in this collection are pithy, humerous, wise, entertaining, and informative. Sit back, read and enjoy.

A great 'what-if' story that is very visual

Imagine everyone that has ever lived, resurrected along a 20 million mile long river, bounded by unclimable peaks, where in any given area, about 80% of the people living there come mostly from the same 100-years and the rest are from along points in time. Written well. Many historical people are involved in the story with the main character who is... just find it!
