As whimsical as they are intelligent, the eighteen stories gathered here, each introduced by the author, find strange characters in even stranger circumstances.<br><br>An all-access pass to Di Filippo&#8217;s whirlwind imagination, <i>The Emperor of Gondwanaland</i> makes clear why its author is one of the most respected science fiction writers around. The man who coined the word ribofunk (to describe science fiction with a biogenetic twist), Di Filippo sees into the heart of our times with a vision and creativity that simply won&#8217;t quit. <i>The Emperor of Gondwanaland</i> is more like a fluid Dalí dreamscape, painted with the deft brushstrokes; a wildly fantastic escape to alternate universes from one of the most imaginative writers around.</div> 1160681 10 6 2005 The Emperor of Gondwanaland: And Other Stories total:14|4:8|3:5|2:1| 14 49 21 4 4 0 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 26 22:14:53 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 26 22:32:24 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Oct 07 17:00:41 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 17:01:10 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Nov 03 13:05:20 -0700 2007 Sat Nov 03 13:09:19 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Feb 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jun 24 08:34:26 -0700 2008 Tue Feb 17 14:18:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 13 00:50:50 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 00:50:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 01:06:59 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 01:06:59 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 14:59:39 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 13:39:28 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 14:59:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 13 04:19:39 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 04:19:45 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 01 13:27:20 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 01 13:27:20 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Dec 07 23:40:14 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 23:40:14 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 22 20:00:24 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 21:17:49 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 30 07:56:02 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 07:56:02 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jun 18 20:58:48 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 20:58:48 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jun 03 07:54:39 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 07:54:39 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Apr 19 09:03:12 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 09:03:12 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Mar 31 11:47:30 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 11:47:30 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Mar 16 17:13:20 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 17:13:20 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jan 23 16:43:31 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 23 16:43:31 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jan 21 03:51:49 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 03:51:49 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Oct 22 08:45:26 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 22 08:45:26 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1172919
