Summary
"This Library of America volume gathers the essential novels and stories of Joanna Russ, an incandescent stylist, unabashedly feminist New Wave science fiction visionary, and, in Samuel R. Delany's words, 'one of the finest--and most necessary--writers of American fiction.' here is her provocative, multidimensional classic The Female Man, in which four women's alternate worlds collide; We Who Are About To..., a dark reimagining of planetary colonization; and her joyous, long out-of-print coming out novel, On Strike Against God. For the first time, all of Russ's 'Alyx' stories are collected, showcasing the unforgettable, time-traveling adventures of her hero-assassin from Ourdh. Rounding out the volume are the prize-winning tales 'When It Changed' and 'Souls,' and a newly researched chronology of Russ's extraordinary life and career."--Dust jacket.
