Science fiction novella.
Nominated for the Hugo
Award (1960).
DESCRIPTION:
A
story about the last surviving Neanderthal. A social anthropologist
sets out to study a man who claims to be the last pure-blooded
Neanderthal still alive.
Isaac Asimov in his introduction: "In any case, in "The Alley Man" you
get a detailed and very complex look at a Neanderthal."
Philip José Farmer in his introduction to the story: "This
seems
to have called forth either cries of "Bravo!" or "Abomination of
abominations!" ... In any event there must have been some who...
thought
that "The Alley Man" was a stench in the nostrils of Heaven. Read it
and decide."
