Gretchen Nunn in Alfred Bester's _Golem 100._ Cover art by Rowena, and
the first time I'd seen a Black woman in sf depicted as such. That drew
me to the book, and I stayed for the writing. First time too I read an
sf novel in an experimental, non-linear style that incorporated graphics
as part of the text. And Miz Nunn was a sexy, strong, smart, wiseass,
wisecracking woman.
