Reception
Orson Scott Card rated Talking Man as one of the best SF books of 1986, saying "Bisson brings off his story of a Kentucky junkyard wizard with panache."[2]
Dave Langford reviewed Talking Man for White Dwarf #95, and stated that "quest to save the world from having never been involves a demented car-chase from Kentucky to the North Pole: enjoyably offbeat."[3]
