About
The Big Front Yard and Other Stories: Handyman Hiram likes things he can understand and fix. But he has a true mystery on his hands when a new ceiling appears in his basement-a ceiling with the ability to repair televisions so they're better than before. "The Big Front Yard" is a powerful story about what happens when an ordinary man finds reality coming apart around him. Along with the other stories in this collection, it is some of the most lyrical science fiction ever published.

Reviews
"I read [Simak's] stories with particular attention, and I couldn't help but notice the simplicity and directness of the writing-the utter clarity of it. I made up my mind to imitate it, and I labored over the years to make my writing simpler, clearer, more uncluttered, to present my scenes on a bare stage."
Isaac Asimov
"Like Olaf Stapledon and SF's later mystics, Simak could dream on a grand scale… Thoreau or Wordsworth would feel at home in his isolated houses rooted in natural landscapes."
