Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
As librarian and critic Kelleghan observes in her introduction, the authors of these nine savage classics are angry. Gregory Frost's Madonna of Maquiladora tells of a poor neighborhood's miracle that may just be a corporate trick to prevent unionizing. Kim Stanley Robinson mercilessly details the pervasive nature of wartime imagery in A History of the Twentieth Century, with Illustrations. The aliens in James Patrick Kelly's Think Like a Dinosaur, coldly debating humanity's right to interstellar travel, satirize the SF field's own sexism. A few stories never rise above the literary version of street protests, but most entertain and satisfy as they view age-old problems from sharp new angles. Speculative and mainstream readers alike will both enjoy and be unsettled by this bounty of opinions and rage. (Nov.)
