Praise
“Eleanor Arnason nudges both human and natural history around so
gently in this tale that you hardly know you’re not in the
world-as-we-know-it until you’re quite at home in a North Dakota where
you’ve never been before, listening to your grandmother tell you the
world.”
–Ursula K. Le Guin
“Eleanor Arnason’s wise and engaging stories make you question the
things you take for granted. How we love, how we fight, how we live.”
–Maureen McHugh, Winner of the James Tiptree Jr. and Hugo Awards
“Arnason doesn’t write about peace, the unreachable stasis. She
writes about reconciliation: and art, a process, an intricate and
never-ending dance. A literature of reconciliation, a celebration of
this other ancient preoccupation of humanity, is a truly exciting
development in our genre. It takes feminist SF out of the ghetto, out of
the realm of reaction and reproach, into the real world.”
–Gwyenth Jones, Winner of the James Tiptree Jr. and Philip K. Dick Awards
“Arnason…refuses to write within the neat, confining boundaries of
genre expectation, and in part because her fearless exploration of
difficult political and social issues makes some editors and readers
uneasy… Her work exploring gender, and particularly its intersection
with politics, stands comparison with that of such better-known writers
as Le Guin, Suzy McKee Charnas and Sheri Tepper.”
–Michael D. Levy, Professor of English Literature, University of Wisconsin-Stout
