FIRST PUBLICATION
Science Fiction Stories, 1953HISTORY:
May 13, 1953 marks the arrival of the manuscript for "The Eyes Have It" at the SMLA. The Agency sold the story to Science Fiction Stories and it was printed in the late 1953 issue. Two anthology appearances 30 years later and then THE COLLECTED STORIES is about it for "The Eyes Have It."
That any anthologizer, let alone two, should have picked up "The Eyes Have It" and have ignored "Jon’s World" is incredible. This is possibly one of the worst short stories Dick ever wrote. Really, it’s just a throwaway.
A man takes literally what is obviously metaphorical and imagines an alien invasion. And like the man, even though my eyes also roam around the room, I have no stomach for this story either. A joke.
