Imagination / Space

Twenty-one pieces of nonfiction by Gwyneth Jones, the 2008 recipient of the Science Fiction Research Association's Pilgrim Award, which is conferred annually on science fiction's premiere critics for lifetime achievement. The contents of Imagination/Space range from Jones's acceptance speech for the Pilgrim Award to her detailed notes on shadowing a scientist in a lab in preparation for writing her Philip K. Dick Award-winning novel, Life, to her critical reconsideration of the feminist sf canon. Her sharp analyses and observations make this a must-read for anyone who cares about feminism, science fiction, or both.
