Please, let's discuss! Did you like it? Yes, I liked it quite a bit. Like you, I felt that all three 'worlds' were well developed through the views of daily life activities. I quite enjoyed the relationships the characters developed. I felt that Kristina and Juko's reestablishment of their family bond in a time of stress was a climactic moment. I wonder how people on this list feel about Juko's reaction to rape by Bjoro? I wish I knew more about Quaker family dynamics. I found the acceptance of arranged marriages and the role of the Clearness Committee intervention in family problems interesting but a bit foreign to my experiences. At first, it seemed that divorce was uncommon but accepted. However, Juko's willingness to, at least in part, forgive Bjoro because she didn't want to be known as a twice-divorced woman was revealing of the cultural pressures on spousal relations in the Miller. There are other pejorative references to people who have multiple divorces as well. The Clearness Committee certainly indicated that divorce was an acceptable outcome, but Juko obviously didn't share their opinion. I see distinct parallels, of course, with the marriage-focused society here in the US and the mixed levels of acceptance of divorce in US culture. I'm also less than thrilled that the Clearness Committee saw Juko's rape as something to be worked out between Juko and Bjoro. There didn't seem to be any provision for punishment of the offender. As a postscript, after reading the pre-book-discussion regarding consensus decision making, I was somewhat disappointed that this aspect was less thoroughly examined in the book. I don't count this as a flaw in the book, but as a flaw in my expectations for the book. ----- FINDING EXTREME PLEASURE WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON IF YOU'RE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT THRILLS YOU --Jenny Holzer, Survival 1983-1985 Chris Shaffer http://www.uic.edu/~shaffer/ chris@bsinc.net AIM:ChrisShaff ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 15:56:42 -0800 Reply-To: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: Grete Eide Subject: Re: Maybe off topic: Tanith Lee MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Shannon, I am new to the list and I see that you're looking for Tanith Lee in Braille or audiotape.

I also enjoyed Dazzle. Like Chris, the handling of the rape caused me to reflect quite a bit about how that society handled it. Partly I think an effort to regain peace seems very Quaker to me, although I'm also not terribly knowledgable. Also I don't remember Juko seeking legal sanctions against Bjoro. But I think there is another element to it and that is the fact that they are on a very tiny spaceship. Much of the time, the mood that is evoked by the wonderful writing made me envision an agrarian village and almost forget it was a spaceship. Because of really being confined, I think "getting clear" with fellow residents would have to be highly valued, unlike on Earth where you can move across town or across country. The point was also made earlier in the book that others had tried to establish colonies on similar ships but didn't have the ecologic patience to make it work the way this group did. I think that figures into understanding the society, i.e., patience both with nature and other people's failings. Parenthetical -if it were me, I don't think I could be that patient at all although I would want to be.

The McIntyre series is similar also in that it largely takes place in a contained habitat, or generation ship. Unfortunately, all of these books are out of print, so they might be just as hard to get hold of as *The Dazzle of Day*." Thanks for the suggestions, Janice; I was thrilled to have a good reason to read the Slonczewski, which had been sitting on my shelf far too long without an excuse to move it to the top of my TBR pile. It's also time I re-read the McIntyre series too, for it's largely muddled in my mind now, years later, but there are so many books I haven't read once yet that I find it really hard to justify re-reading. Anyone else have this experience, or are there some books that you simply *must* re-read regardless of all the new ones as yet unmet? And yet _A Door Into Ocean_ is just the sort of book that I feel I must re-read to appreciate because the first time through I think I was too caught up in the plot, details and subtleties slipping aside in my haste to turn the next page. I just wanted to know what was going to happen to Merwen, Lystra, Usha, Nisi, and Spinel and any possibility of observing Slonczewski's comment on the complexities of consensus decision making faded in importance as I gobbled up the plot! This recalled my experience reading Starhawk's _Fifth Sacred Thing_ (which was also discussed recently in relation to another BDG) which I also may have read too quickly to appreciate fully, but regardless of the details I may have missed out on, I was left with the same sense of hope, not glaring and assured, but quiet and determined. Granted that a more deliberate reading would be very rewarding, but sometimes it's nice to just let a book wash over you, don't you think? I'm intrigued by the comments on Molly Gloss' novel and will, when my budget allows , order a copy and read the archived comments later. In the meantime, I'm heading back to Butler. Still, I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on Slonczewski's other work? Are there connections to _ADiO_ or does it stand alone?

I am currently working on a paper on Hilbert Schenck's A Rose for Armageddeon and one of my points there is how rarely SF emphasizes older characters (especially women). Dazzle has several different narrators where the fact that they are old is significant. I like that. The point about non-dazzle of style and plot is harder for me to elucidate, but for a book which is clearly SF and even "out there" with the idea of viable space habitants and the problems of learning to live on a new planet after the group has been "encased" for several generations, it somehow doesn't have the old SF "sense of wonder." I don't mean that to be a negative statement at all; again I liked it. But I was conscious for a great deal of the time as I was reading that it felt more like a "mundane" regular novel with its details of eating, working, going to the bathroom, tending children and the sick, getting along with people, etc. I read somewhere that SF had grown up when authors started admiting that characters had bodies that had to go to the bathroom, eat, menstruate, etc. Certainly a feminist point in the 70's was that SF needed to deal with who takes care of the children and cleans up the spaceship! Another author that has this "feel" of real world (I'm not sure I'm articulating this idea all that well so I'll give an example of someone else I have the same reaction to) is Maureen McHugh in China Mountain Zhang and Mission Child. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2000 16:19:43 -0800 Reply-To: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC Sender: Feminist SF/Fantasy and Utopia Literature ON TOPIC From: Allyson Shaw Subject: Re: Maybe off topic: Tanith Lee MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thank you for the suggestion, Shannon!
