Ever wonder what happened to the rest of the tea party when the saucers went off into space? Here's your chance to find out! What would it be like to go to a club where you could buy an injection of sexiness? To grow up in a world where you didn't know what gender you would be until puberty -- and the discovery could be painful? To find yourself and your secret pitted against the entire United States government? The James Tiptree, Jr. Award has been recognizing science fiction and fantasy novels and stories that explore and expand gender since 1992. Although the award itself is given to one or two works of fiction a year, each jury also produces an "honor list" of notable works that were considered for the award. This anthology contains almost all of the short fiction that either won or was honored in the first five years of the award. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The Lovers - Eleanor Arnason. An interesting story of a segregated society, where women and non-related men only come together to produce children. Its not a society of dominance, men go off to war, woman run the business and such. Its well written, great characters, but managed to capture the alienness of this society. It reads a lot like Ursula LeGuin.
Chemistry - James Patrick Kelly. A story about created love vs real love, and what does it mean for relationships. Written well, but a bit unmemorable.
Forgiveness Day - Urusula LeGuin - Typical LeGuin Story. Change in society creates change in a person. I've read this before, but keep forgetting it.
Some Strange Desire - Ian McDonald. Its a story where sex equals living, where vampires don't drink blood but essence. Its not an easy story to read.
Venus Rising - Carol Emshwiller. Typical Male tries to dominate Utopian type society. Doesn't see its positives only negatives. Another difficult story, but there is a positive flicker at the end of the it.
Eat Reecebread - Graham Joyce and Peter F. Hamilton. I quite liked this story - a change in humanity scares the majority.
Mortherhood, Etc - L. Timmel Duchamp. This can be a companion piece to "Eat Reecebread" similiar themes, similar outcome. I didn't like this one as much as Eat Reecebread, simply because the characters were more cardboard and acted as characatures of who they were supposed to be.
The Other Magpie - R. Garcia Y Robertson. Didn't hold my attention so didn't finish it.
Food Man - Lisa Tuttle. Strange story about a girl who wants to be in control of her life, including growing up, but lets her desire control her.
Young Woman in a Garden - Delia Sherman. A young art historian finds that a love triangle isn't quite how it appears.
Grownups - Ian McCleod. This story is creepy. Like skin crawling creepy - Definately intriguing, completely unexpected ending. Leaves you to ask when is a child an adult, and if you can truly define that line, how does society change. Interesting, but creepy.
The Matters of Seggi -Ursula LeGuin. This is another thought provoking story by LeGuin. She creates a society where men are kept locked up and women rule. And as usual, she starts with a seemingly easy observation to make but turns it into something much more complex. (
