I came to Effinger's writing fairly late in his career when I discovered his Budayeen series of novels, he died a few years later so I've been catching up ever since.
This volume collects a selection of his previously published short stories, each introduced by other writers who knew or had a passing acquaintance with him. While most of the stories have a SF angle, there's quite a variety on offer here. Many are satirical or just plain funny.
I enjoyed this collection but for somebody new to the author the novels might be a better bet.
