Science Fiction and Fantasy Classics
Here are some books that have withstood the test of time and critical fashions. I pay attention to publishers devoting time and energy to bringing back books or authors in an organized way. For instance, MIT Press is doing such an admirable job with Stanislaw Lem that it inspired a separate page devoted to him. The new Dune films are reviving a sf landmark series. I will add others in time.
The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer
The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer
"Carol Hill has deftly synthesized feminism, romance, sophisticated science, and broad comedy into a spirited, high-flying novel." —Dan Cryer, Newsday
A cult classic from its first appearance, The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer is a rich and comic blend of physics, feminism, and political farce. A brilliant, philosophical, and athletic physicist, Amanda Jaworski is in training to be the first person to journey to Mars. With her magic cat, Schrodinger, Amanda goes on the ultimate space odyssey. She finds herself in a battle for her life and her planet with the greatest seductress of all, The Eleven Million Mile High Dancer, a being from forty million light years away.
