Synopsis

Crossing the boundaries between fabulist literature, science fiction, and magical realism, the stories in this second volume of the Carol Emshwiller collection offer a valuable glimpse into the evolution of her ideas and style during her more than 50-year career. Including all of her fiction to date and additional stories not available in the first volume, this selection of 56 of Emshwiller's works demonstrate a range that is impressive and exemplifies her refusal to be labeled or to stick to one genre. This exhilarating new collection marks the first time many of the early stories have been published in book form and is evidence of the genius of Emshwiller, one of America's most versatile and imaginative authors.
