read in April, 2008

Brimate Brimate said: "Woman of the Edge of Time is nuts. It's radical feminist sci-fi that's part future utopia, part powerful critique of current fucked-up society, part tale of liberation.

The whole text is engaging, but for some reason it took me a while to ...more

Brimate's favorite quotes

"Living in a world that is valued only as gain, an ever-expanding world-as-frontier that has no worth of its own, no fullness of its own, you live in danger of losing your own worth to yourself. That's when you begin to listen to the voices from the other side, and to ask questions of failure and the dark."
— Ursula K. Le Guin
