Hi all
I'm new here and I'm looking for a collection of short stories I read when I was a teenager (some 20 years ago).
The backdrop was a bar where all sorts of humans and aliens came by and told stories. One story was about an alien race of females only, who in their language had different possessive pronouns, depending on whether the object was a being, a possession or a part of one's body (ie. my dog, my chair, my leg) and not much was known about the males of that species, other than that the females referred to them as possession. Another story was about an alien who told of yet another alien race, who, through mathematical proof, had found out what happened after death, and all committed suicide immediately. I think another story was about human sexual escapades with aliens.
Does anybody know the title or author?
Thanks
Lukas
