Deconstructing the Starships: Essays and Review (Liverpool University Press - Liverpool Science Fiction Texts & Studies)
Gwyneth Jones
The subject matter of this collection is varied, but displays Jones? stance as a practicing SF writer and a feminist; the writing is characterized by both an incisive engagement with the texts and a refusal to dress that engagement in jargon. This very readable book provides insight into the work of one of the UK's most interesting writers and presents strong ? sometimes even subversive ? views of a range of modern SF and fantasy.
"Gwyneth Jones is one of the two or three most important writers of the current sf boom in the UK... from the evidence in this book it is clear she is also one of the most reflective and readable sf critics working today."?Science Fiction Studies
