Description
Widely respected in the so-called ';mainstream' for her New York Times bestselling novels, Karen Joy Fowler is also a formidable, often controversial, and always exuberant presence in Science Fiction. Here she debuts a provocative new story written especially for this series. Set in the days of Darwin, ';The Science of Herself' is a marvelous hybrid of SF and historical fiction: the almost-true story of England's first female paleontologist who took on the Victorian old-boy establishment armed with only her own fierce intelligenceand an arsenal of dino bones.
Plus
';The Pelican Bar,' a homely tale of family ties that makes Guantnamo look like summer camp; ';The Further Adventures of the Invisible Man,' a droll tale of sports, shoplifting and teen sex; and ';The Motherhood Statement,' a quietly angry upending of easy assumptions that shows off Fowler's deep radicalism and impatience with conservative homilies and liberal pieties alike.
And Featuring: our Outspoken Interview in which Fowler prophesies California's fate, reveals the role of bad movies in good marriages, and intimates that girls just want to have fun (which means make trouble).
