The Other Side of the Sky is a collection ofscience fiction short stories by English writerArthur C. Clarke, originally published in 1958. The stories all originally appeared in a number of different publications.
Floyd C. Gale wrote that "too many [trick endings] are more than enough", but that there were "several superlative items", citing the "Venture to the Moon" and "The Other Side of the Sky" story headings.[2] He described the paperback edition as "A double dozen of Clarke's best short-shorts, all tricky".[3]Damon Knight, although dismissing the vignettes as "without exception remarkably trivial," reported that the other stories "include some of Clarke's best work."[4]
