Review Quotes:

It is characteristic of Russ's genius that her most sheerly readable novel is also one of her most intellectually intricate."--Carl Freedman, author of Critical Theory and Science Fiction

It reminds us that maybe we aren't necessary, that the imperative to keep reproducing is irrational.""--Farah Mendlesohn, editor of Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction
