Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air
by L. Timmel Duchamp
Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air collects three early and one new story by L. Timmel Duchamp. The Tiptree/Otherwise Award Honor list story “Motherhood, Etc.,” explores gender issues through a nineteen year-old’s defiant challenge to medical authorities determined to control their body and contain their sexual difference. Another Tiptree/Otherwise Honor List story, “Welcome, Kid, to the Real World,” explores the grip that sexual dimorphism presented as an either/or choice has on a culture offering a seemingly limitless menu of choices to young adults. In “The Last Nostalgia,” Daisy Q seeks to map the City, a territory lying between the Real World and the Excellent World, home to poets and mathematicians. And finally, in “When Joy Came to the World,” a USian graduate student doing archival research in Florence experiences the joys of mass hedonism following a mysterious snowfall in the Arno.

Stone Martyrs
by Erik Hofstatter
“If stones could speak, what stories would they tell? We learn the horrific answer to that question in Erik Hofstatter’s intriguing collection of dark prose poetry. Profundity mixes with vulgarity, the sacred with the profane, as the once-human Rollright Stones near the British village of Long Compton come alive to contemplate past conquests and atrocities. Sex and violence, passion and obsession, witchcraft and loss of innocence combine in this powerful, disturbing, yet strangely moving dialogue of forever-earthbound souls.”

Making Amends
by Nisi Shawl
Starting an interstellar penal colony could be an extremely practical
idea, right? It could even provide a sponsoring corporation a good
Return on Investment—though of course their initial investment would
be massive. Making Amends is a novel-in-stories that tells how
a corporate government tries to put this idea into action. Beginning
with the selection of the first mission’s “volunteer” crew and
culminating with the idea’s lovely and unforeseen consequences,
Making Amends immerses readers in strange new worlds, worlds
precious to discover, tricky to explore, and beautiful to behold.
