Hand, Elizabeth, or Liz as she's known to her colleagues, students, and devoted fans, is a maverick in modern fiction: a fearless literary sojourner whose award-winning novels and short stories mix murder and magic, high fantasy and post-punk noir in extravagant and unforgettable new ways.The title story, ';Fire.'written especially for this volumeis a harrowing postapocalyptic adventure in a world threatened by global conflagration. Based on Hand's real-life experience as a participant in a governmental climate change think tank, it follows a ragtag cadre of scientists and artists racing to save both civilization and themselves from fast-moving global fires.';The Woman Men Didn't See' is an expansion of Hand's acclaimed critical assessment of author Alice Sheldon, who wrote award-winning SF as ';James Tiptree, Jr.' in order to conceal identity from both the SF community and her CIA overlords. Another nonfiction piece, ';Beyond Belief,' recounts her difficult passage from alienated teen to serious artist.Also included are ';Kronia,' a poignant time-travel romance, and ';The Saffron Gatherers,' two of Hand's favorite and less familiar stories. Plus: a bibliography and our candid and illuminating Outspoken Interview with one of today's most inventive authors.
