Talk Like a Man

Talk Like a Man Synopsis

In these previously uncollected stories, Shawl explores the unexpected horizons (and corners) opened up by SF and Fantasy's new diversity. In their worlds, sex can be both business and religion, complete with ancient rites, altars, and ointments ('Women of the Doll'); a virtual reality high school is a proving ground for girlpacks and their unfortunate adversaries ('Walk like a Man'); and a British rock singer finds an image in a mirror that reflects both future hits and ancient horrors ('Something More').
