Perhaps you are all off enjoying the summer (how latitudist of me to assume it's summer where you are, I know.) This message is just a reminder we're due to start discussing _Wild Seed_ by Octavia Butler this coming Monday (August 2nd). As always the latest info about our organized discussions is available here: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Comet/1304/ Jennifer jkrauel@actioneer.com ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 30 Jul 1999 16:25:03 -0500 Reply-To: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: Stacey Holbrook Subject: Emma Bull-- Bone Dance In-Reply-To: <19990730205739691.AAB260.202@jennifer.actioneer.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I managed to find a copy at a wonderful used book store. What an interesting book and great characters. I loved Sparrow-- tough yet vulnerable, canny and naive. I also liked the combination of mysticism and science fiction. That a genetically engineered human can be awakened by the loa to perform a task for them delighted me. I enjoyed the way magic and science mingled in this future world. I know I didn't get all the references, this is one of those books that can stand repeat readings. I get the feeling that I will always find something new at every reading. Stacey (ausar@netdoor.com)
