Illustrated Man

Plot

"The tattooed man moves, and in the arcane designs scrawled upon his skin swirl tales beyond imagining -- tales of love and laughter, darkness and death, of mankind's glowing, golden past and dim, haunted future. Here are eighteen incomparable stories that blend magic and truth in a kaleidoscopic tapestry of wonder the New York Times called 'beautifully written... intensely real.'" -- Back cover.
