Synopsis
Winner of the 2018 Elgin Award
From the Pointer Sisters doing the Neutron Dance to David Bowman's exclamation while traveling through the star gate near Jupiter; from stealing Joan Didion's sadness to erasing F. Scott Fitzgerald's Gatsby, this collection weaves its way through the awkward paradox of wanting freedom while fearing it. A little science, a bit of sci-fi, a little feminism, a bit of lit, in Liberating the Astronauts, we see that not fitting in gives us the freedom to stand out.
