Clarke, and Gene Wolfe. Written from 1937 to 1940, the stories here showcase Sturgeon's masterful knack for clever, O. Henry-ish plot twists, sparkling character development, and almost archetypal, “Why didn't I think of that?” story ideas. Early Sturgeon masterpieces include “It,” a story about the violence done by a creature spontaneously born from garbage and mud, and “Helix the Cat,”  about an inventor's bizarre encounter with a disembodied soul and the cat that saves it. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Featuring more than forty stories, \u003ci\u003eThe Ultimate Egoist\u003c\/i\u003e is a timelessly entertaining tour through the early career and unique genius of this legend of science fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheodore Sturgeon\u003c\/b\u003e was born on February 26, 1918, in Staten Island, New York.
