"Ever
since the untimely death of Kathy Acker, experiments in form and
voice and subject matter in the speculative
genre have been all too rare. Luckily for us, however, a few brave
authors remain willing to push ahead into uncharted literary territory.
One of the finest is Lance Olsen."
-Asimov's
"Olsen
is among the finest writers of social critique and speculative
fiction today."
-American Book Review
