Synopsis
Nominated for Hugo and Nebula awards, "Surfacing" is the story of Anthony, an emotionally scarred researcher who finds it easier to talk to whales and to aliens than to members of his own species. Until a stranger named Philana enters his life, with a terrifying problem of her own that dares him to break through the surface of his world.
The story originally appeared in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, April 1988. The story can also be found in the anthologies The Year's Best Science Fiction: Sixth Annual Collection (1989) and Best of the Best Volume 2: 20 Years of the Year's Best Short Science Fiction Novels, both edited by Gardner Dozois. It is included in the collections Facets (1990) and The Best of Walter Jon Williams (2021).
