Several stories are just plain brilliant, and the majority is exceptionally funny. Self-directed irony abounds, and orgiastic playfulness with postmodern meta-levels and meta-twists. What’s more, these stories are really feminist. It’s not your occasional outstanding female super hero, super specialist, super assassin, super daredevil pilot, or anything like that, but mostly nuts-and-bolts female heroes from the rank-and-file. They’re grunts, for goddess’s sake, and they brawl, they fart, and they drink like a fish. One of my favorite lines, from Kate Daniels’s “… But Comedy is Hard” (set in ancient Greece), comes when the first person narrator remembers her sergeant after having gone AWOL for various reasons: “To this day I wonder when Glycera realized I was gone. Sometimes I miss the old battle-ax.” (246) I’m not too much into fantasy; it was science fiction that started to rule my world when I was a kid. But if more fantasy stories had been like this, I’m sure I’d opted for a more balanced reading diet. 2 gyokusai | Apr 16, 2008 | "Myth Manners' Guide to Greek Missology #1: Andromeda and Perseus" (Harry Turtledove) "Chain, Link, Fence" (Steven Piziks) "Fool's Gold" (Elizabeth Moon) "In for a Pound" (Lawrence Watt-Evans) "Death Becomes Him" (Marina Frants) "Straight Arrow" (Susan Shwartz) "Bad Heir Day" (Rosemary Edghill) "Why Do You Think They Call It Middle Earth?"

The barbarian babe in the chainmail bikini has been a staple of fantasy fiction for as long as the genre has been in existence. Recently, however, she's undergone something of a transformation. Now that women have increasingly taken the reins of modern fantasy, she's no longer an object of male wishful thinking but a battling heroine in her own right; a sassy icon who stands no nonsense and kicks some serious butt. Chicks 'N Chained Males introduces a brand new collection of wild and wonderful women with brass bras and broadswords and a beltful of good intentions. After all, would such as they stoop to the exploitation of those poor chained males who have found themselves under their protection? On the contrary, these chicks are here to rescue their men from any number of Fates Worse Than Death! And besides, no proper swordswoman worthy of the name has to chain a man up in order to keep him line... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
