About this Item
First printing, a trade paperback, issued simultaneously with hardcover. A study of utopian literature which focuses on four American science fiction novels - Joanna Russ "The Female Man"; Ursula Le Guin "The Dispossessed"; Marge Piercy "Woman on the Edge of Time" and Samuel Delany "Triton" - three by women and one by an African American. One review commented that "This is a book for our time. In an age of individual self-enhancement schemes and neo-liberal apologies for unjust and unequal structures, it urges us to imagine a world of justice, freedom, and dignity for people and living things." (Angelika Bammer) and Kim Stanley Robinson noted that "This book has iconic standing as a foundational text in understanding utopias, and in seeing how the critical utopias of the 1970s were major innovations in the way literature speaks to the social realities of its time." Notes, bibliography, index. 242 pp. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers. Seller Inventory # 85299
