Nebula and Hugo Award winner Joanna Russ is the author of The Adventures of Alyx, Extra(Ordinary) People, and To Write Like a Woman, among many other books.
As hard and mean and fine as Flannery O'Connor. . . . I wish that
everyone would read Joanna Russ' books. -Dorothy Allison, author of
Bastard Out of Carolina
"Joanna Russ offers a gallery of some of the most interesting
female protagonists in current fiction, women who are rarely
victims and sometimes even victors, but always engaged sharply and
perceptively with their fate." -Marge Piercy
"A stunning book, a work to be read with great respect. It's also
screamingly funny." -Elizabeth Lynn, San Francisco Review of
Books
"A work of frightening power, but it is also a work of great
fictional subtlety. . . . It should appeal to all intelligent
people who look for exciting ideation, crackling dialogue,
provocative fictional games-playing in their reading." -Douglas
Barbour, Toronto Star
