What a strange love story, where eggs take the place of romance, but it's still considered one of the great romances of humanity. Still, at least there was some social justice for the underpeople! :) For the love of eggs. ( )

This was my first introduction to Cordwainer Smith. Rereading it 45 years later, I see not only why it meant so much to me on the first reading, but how it's a better story than I understood at the time. Truly remarkable. Highly recommended. ( )
