I am too lazy to check but I bet I read a lot of the shorter
works because they were also Hugo winners and included in the
Asimov anthologies. I have not the Nebula anthologies.

Chthon by Piers Anthony

I still don't understand that book, and at this point I'm not going to
try. On the other hand, he certainly wasn't aiming for his later easy-reading popularity here. On the other, other, hand, I think
he said that the book took so long to write that he earned about
ten cents an hour in the process.

_Chthon_ and _Phthor_ were definitely ambitious, but they didn't succeed
for me. I remember they were unpleasant to read; I don't know now whether >they could be called "New Wave" or just more about obsession.
_Macroscope_ is the only Anthony on my Favorites bookcase, another
ambitious book. _A Spell for Chameleon_ was good but its success
ruined Anthony as a serious author.
I've read almost all the listed Nebula works, but have never even
heard of _The Eskimo Invasion_!
Flatlander by Larry Niven *
I think that's the only one of the whole list that I have read,
and it's the most memorable one of the Beowulf Shaeffer stories.
Doesn't something rather large explode in one?
So you ask the most powerful aliens you know for the most "interesting"
star system you can reach, but don't ask them _why_ it's interesting
before you go there. What could possibly go wrong? ... Oh-shit-oh-shit.
So of course you call the customer complaint
line. :-)
