Slow Birds and Other Stories is a collection by Ian Watson published in 1985. Plot summary Slow Birds and Other Stories is a collection of 11 short stories. Reception Dave Langford reviewed Slow Birds and Other Stories for White Dwarf #72, and stated that "strangenesses include inverted, inexplicably expanded, and time-frozen worlds, a vitriolic tale of political physics which plunges Margaret Thatcher below Absolute Zero, and uneasy horror stories. Worth a look." Reviews Review by Chris Morgan (1985) in Fantasy Review, November 1985 Review by Chris Bailey (1985) in Vector 129 Review by Dan Chow (1986) in Locus, #300 January 1986 Review by E. F.
