Review:
"For someone who is working on biotechnology and SF and employing a theoretically advanced and interdisciplinary methodology, "Liminal Lives" is a very important text."
--Mark Decker, "SFRA Review"
"Squier's approach is welcome because it asks us to carefully not distinguish between 'narrative' as a practice exclusive to literature or film. "Liminal Lives "prompts us to consider the ways in which 'science fiction' is a verb, and not simply a literary or film genre."
--Eugene Thacker, "Leonardo"
"Offering a far-ranging and provocative analysis, Squier moves effortlessly among science fiction, government reports, and scientific writing in a diverse range of fields as she focuses on the culture's grappling with various types of 'liminal lives.' . . . Highly recommended."
--R. D. Morrison, "Choice"
“"Liminal Lives" offers very strong and important theoretical insights into relationships between scientific knowledge and practice and literary production. Its innovative methodology creates possibilities for better communication and exchange between scientific, literary, and social scientific knowledge in a way that will be very useful to others interested in interdisciplinary science studies.”—Catherine Waldby, author of "AIDS and The Body Politic: Biomedicine and Sexual Difference"
“A brilliant and provocative exploration of how biomedicine and literature, particularly science fiction, are together reconfiguring the very shape of the entire life span, producing adoptable embryos, giant babies, interspecies pregnancies, and regenerated old bodies—all in the context of a new and grim bio-economy in which hearts and kidneys are for sale and earrings are fabricated out of fetal remains.”—Kathleen Woodward, author of "Aging and Its Discontents: Freud and Other Fictions"
“Susan Merrill Squier’s "Liminal Lives" is compelling, timely, imaginative, and wonderfully provocative.”—Priscilla Wald, author of "Constituting Americans: Cultural Anxiety and Narrative Form"
