Awards: Contains “Palely Loitering” and “The Watched”, both Hugo Award nominees. The title story is CP’s most anthologized work.

Three of the stories in this collection are in the Dream Archipelago sequence, and were later re-collected, in slightly revised versions, in the book of that name. Confusingly, at least two translated versions of this book were given the “Dream Archipelago” title.

An Infinite Summer consists of five long stories about desire and love, dreams of the past, distant islands, lost happiness, and growing up. [Includes: Introduction by CP. Stories: "An Infinite Summer", "Whores", "Palely Loitering", "The Negation", "The Watched".]
