Overview
Occupying one of the smaller wings of the science fiction mansion, alternate history deals not with the future, but with a past that happened differently than in other literature. Among the writers and works these 15 essays consider are John Taine and Murray Leinster, Ward Moore's Bring the Jubilee, Sarban's The Sound of His Horn, Phillip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle, superhero graphic novels from 1986 to 1996, Kingsley Amis, Joanna Russ' The Female Man, Orson Scott Card's The Tales of Alvin Maker, the French alternate history The Great Implosion, Robert Heinlein, and John Crowley. If Puerto Rico counts as the US, all but one of the contributors are American. The text is double spaced. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
