商品描述

Selected short stories by one of the most acclaimed voices in post-war US American science fiction.

This volume presents a selection of short fiction by Vonda Neel McIntyre (1948-2019), one of the most acclaimed writers of post-war US American science fiction, and the winner of multiple awards for both novels and short fiction.

These stories, which span the whole of McIntyre's career, show the broad range of her interests and her voice, taking us from bleak dystopian worlds on the verge of environmental collapse to baroque intergalactic civilizations populated by genetically modified humans, from cries for freedom to sharp-eyed satire to meditations on aging. Throughout run her distinctive themes of gender and power dynamics, human and species diversity, and a pragmatic utopianism that emphasises our mutual dependency.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

選集了一位在戰後美國科幻文學中備受讚譽的聲音的短篇小說。

這本書收錄了Vonda Neel McIntyre（1948-2019）的短篇小說作品，她是戰後美國科幻文學中最受讚譽的作家之一，並且曾經多次獲得小說和短篇小說的獎項。

這些故事涵蓋了McIntyre整個職業生涯，展示了她廣泛的興趣和獨特的聲音，從濒临环境崩溃的荒凉末世世界到由基因改造人類組成的巴洛克星際文明，從對自由的呼喊到敏銳的諷刺，再到對老化的沉思。貫穿其中的是她獨特的性別和權力動態主題，人類和物種多樣性，以及強調我們相互依賴的實用主義烏托邦主義。

作者簡介

Vonda Neel McIntyre (1948-2019) was one of the most acclaimed voices in US American science fiction from the 1960s onward. A novelist, short story writer, essayist, and critic, she won her first Hugo Award in 1973 for her novella "Of Mist, and Grass, and Sand." This formed part of her ground-breaking feminist novel Dreamsnake (1978), which won both the Hugo and the Nebula Award. A later novel, The Moon and the Sun, won the Nebula in 1997. McIntyre contributed extensively to debates within the US sf community over the role of women in science fiction, and was instrumental in founding the Clarion West Writers Workshop for novice sf writers. A final novel, The Curve of the World, was completed shortly before her death.
