Walt Whitman as lusty seducer of an only partly reticent Emily Dickinson who loses the "Keys to the Inner Chambers of her Heart" to him? This fine and funny madness is "steampunk," a branch of cyberpunk fiction that locates itself in historical venues rather than in the future. Paul Di Filippo has certainly done his homework: the settings as well as the language emulate the times and, in Dickinson's and Whitman's cases, their poetic language, which asserts itself into their conversational dialogue and thoughts at most unusual but appropriate moments. Dickinson's "Universe Entire" is disrupted by a naked Whitman bathing in her rain barrel and singing his "body electric." But will Dickinson's "White Election" remain intact? 1160689 1995 The Steampunk Trilogy total:106|5:15|4:40|3:37|2:12|1:2| 106 372 285 16 4 3 false false Fri Aug 01 17:42:32 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 13:09:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 13:56:40 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 14:14:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Jun 15 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Jul 15 14:58:30 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 14:58:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Aug 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 15:22:33 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 22:03:26 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 7 false false Sat Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 22:32:37 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 22:38:13 -0700 2009
