This copy is numbered 94 of 300 copies in this edition and is SIGNED by author John Updike directly on the limitation page; Unlike most of Updike's work, this is a story with a futuristic theme, the action taking place on the pleasant little planet of Minerva, which exists within the "semi-liquid immensity of Jupiter." As an adolescent, Updike enjoyed reading the genre and was quite pleased to be considered, however slightly, a writer of science fiction. Written in 1975, published in The New Yorker, and reprinted in the book Best SF: 75; 8vo ; Signed by Author.
