Read a sample from the book.
After WisCon 20, Sylvia Kelso engaged Lois McMaster Bujold in a rich,
snappy correspondence about Bujold's Vorkosigan novels. "You ... remark
that '[my] post-modern despair is not [your] emergency' over the failure of
feminism to transform SF," she wrote to Bujold. "My postmodern despair
OUGHT to be your emergency, buen'amiga, because one of the reasons you are
being ignored is that ... you don't fit the male canon either in the
community or the critical industry; so unless you catch their eyes with a
sand-blaster like The Left Hand of Darkness, the male academics are also
gonna find you invisible..."
That correspondence became "Letterspace: In the Chinks Between Published
Fiction and Published Criticism," which is published here. Also included
are "Third Person Peculiar: Reading between Academic and SF-Community
Positions in (Feminist) Sf"," a critical essay discussing the intricacies
of an Australian feminist scholar writing about science fiction; "Tales of
Earth: Terraforming in Recent Women's Sf"," which considers colonialism in
science fiction by women; and "Loud Achievements: Lois McMaster Bujold's
Science Fiction through 1997," which closely examines Bujold's Vorkosigan
novels.
