The Golden Globe
John Varley
All the universe is a
stage, and Sparky Valentine is its itinerant thespian. He makes his way
from planet to planet as part of a motley theater troupe, bringing
Shakespeare -- a version of it anyway -- to the outer reaches of earth's
solar system. He journeys through the outlands, where thousands of
artificial satellites drift, conglomerates of junk and rock welded
together to support meager communities of human life. Here Sparky plies
his trade, transforming himself from young to old, fat to thin, man to
woman, by altering magnetic implants beneath his skin. Indispensable
hardware for a career actor and an interstellar con man wanted for
murder -- for while Sparky Valentine may have a song in his heart, he
also has a price on his head. But his galactic roamings are bringing him
closer to home, closer to justice -- and closer to the truth of his
strange and prolonged existence...
