List of short stories and novellas
From MangalaWiki
This is a list of the short stories, novellas and other fiction writings, including poems, published by Kim Stanley Robinson, in the order of their first publication. Many of these writings were published more than once, and most have been included in short story collection releases. For a list of non-fiction publications, see here.
Robinson mainly wrote short stories in the 1970s and 1980s, in the beginning of his career as a writer. He has now acknowledged that his more recent writing habits have drawn him away from the short story format in favor of novels, however he does not exclude a future effort to pick back writing in shorter prose.
The right columns of the following table indicate in which collections was the story published, usually after an initial publication in a magazine:
- PT for The Planet On The Table (1986)
- EK for Escape From Kathmandu (1989)
- RH for Remaking History (1991)
- DO for Down And Out In The Year 2000 (1992)
- RO for Remaking History And Other Stories (1994)
- M4 for The Martians (1999)
- VD for Vinland The Dream And Other Stories (2002)
- BO for The Best Of Kim Stanley Robinson (2010)
