Crossing the boundaries between fabulist literature, science fiction, and magical realism, the stories in this collection offer a valuable glimpse into the evolution of Carol Emshwiller's ideas and style during her more than 50-year career. Influenced by J.G. Ballard, Steven Millhauser, Philip K. Dick, and Lydia Davis, Emshwiller has a range of works that is impressive and demonstrates her refusal to be labelled or to stick to one genre. This exhilarating new collection marks the first time many of the early stories have been published in book form and is evidence of the genius of Emshwiller, one of America's most versatile and imaginative authors.

"Emshwiller's readers know her as a major fabulist, a marvelous magical realist, one of the strongest, most complex, most consistently feminist voices in fiction." --Urusula K. Guin, award-winning author, " Lavinia"
