Information on The Other Foot from Illustrated Man
Hi, I'm new here and was looking for help. I'm doing a big paper stemming from the situation/resolution presented in the short story The Other Foot. I'm looking for any reviews or critical analyses on the story or The Illustrated Man in general and I'm having a real hard time finding anything. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions or even opinions of your own, please let me know. Thanks.

All I can tell you is I do remember hearing that was one of the most-criticized stories, or was known for having taken the most heat, but I don't know by who, when, or where. Certain people do find it offensive in ways which are obvious when reading that and the story "Way in the Middle of the Air," but they can also be viewed as alternate-universe (if the Civil Rights movement hadn't happened, or had failed) type stories.
