One of my favorite genres is science fiction during the 1950s and 1960s. Henry Kuttner was a very good writer. I'm currently in the process of reading a very best of. "Robots have no Tails" is a short story collection featuring a genius scientist named Galloway Gallegher who does his best work when he is drunk. His stories revolve around him figuring out what the heck did he accomplish while he was drunk. The best story here is "The Proud Robot." It's about a vain robot and Gallegher tries to figure out just why did he make this robot. There are other stories in this collection too that feature the robot Joe. This book is pretty funny. Henry Kuttner had an influence later on other writers such as Marion Zimmer Bradley. I've got to read more of his work.
