""Liminal Lives" offers very strong and important theoretical insights into relationships between scientific knowledge and practice and literary production. Its innovative methodology creates possibilities for better communication and exchange between scientific, literary, and social scientific knowledge in a way that will be very useful to others interested in interdisciplinary science studies."--Catherine Waldby, author of "AIDS and The Body Politic: Biomedicine and Sexual Difference"
