Paraspheres : Extending Beyond the Spheres of Literary and Genre Fiction: Fabulist and New Wave Fabulist Stories

Fiction. Featuring genre-defying stories by the likes of Angela Carter, Rikki Ducornet, Brian Evenson, Laird Hunt, Ursula K. Le Guin and Kim Stanley Robinson, PARASPHERES: EXTENDING BEYOND THE SPHERES OF LITERARY AND GENRE FICTION introduces us to new writing its editors describe as Fabulist and New Wave Fabulist. The editors describe their choice of terms as indicating "a small group of innovative writers rooted in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror [who] have been simultaneously exploring and erasing the boundaries of those genres by creating fiction of remarkable depth and power"--from the introduction. "The editors of PARASPHERES have cast their nets widely and brought back a marvelous anthology full of marvelous tales. The sum of an anthology can sometimes be greater than its parts, and these parts-these stories-are bold, haunting, and remarkable"--Kelly Link.
