Publishers Weekly
In his introduction to the reprint, Felice Picano calls his 1995 SF novel, Dryland's End, "one of my least-known, least-written-of or spoken-of books, yet at the same time one of my most ardently beloved books." Picano (Like People in History) raises some interesting gender issues in this provocative tale of the far future. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
