Overview
Hand, Elizabeth, or Liz as sheās known to her colleagues, students, and devoted fans, is a maverick in modern fiction: a fearless literary sojourner whose award-winning novels and short stories mix murder and magic, high fantasy and post-punk noir in extravagant and unforgettable new ways.
The title story, āFire.āāwritten especially for this volumeāis a harrowing postapocalyptic adventure in a world threatened by global conflagration. Based on Handās real-life experience as a participant in a governmental climate change think tank, it follows a ragtag cadre of scientists and artists racing to save both civilization and themselves from fast-moving global fires.
āThe Woman Men Didnāt Seeā is an expansion of Handās acclaimed critical assessment of author Alice Sheldon, who wrote award-winning SF as āJames Tiptree, Jr.ā in order to conceal identity from both the SF community and her CIA overlords. Another nonfiction piece, āBeyond Belief,ā recounts her difficult passage from alienated teen to serious artist.
Also included are āKronia,ā a poignant time-travel romance, and āThe Saffron Gatherers,ā two of Handās favorite and less familiar stories. Plus: a bibliography and our candid and illuminating Outspoken Interview with one of todayās most inventive authors.
