Food For Thought #IBW12

I’ve been busily adding Aqueduct Press books to the store, and here are a few pieces on non-fiction that I’d like to draw your attention to.

Imagination/Space is a collection of essays and talks from Gwyneth Jones. The topics include Fiction, Feminism, Technology and Politics. Needless to say, Gwyneth is very sharp on all of those issues. The book has enthusiastic reviews from Gary K. Wolfe and Farah Mendlesohn. I don’t need to add to that.

Next up is The Secret Feminist Cabal, Helen Merrick’s cultural history of feminist science fiction. The book was a Hugo nominee, won a Ditmar, and was on the Tiptree honor list. It is a must read book for anyone interested in the intersections of feminism, science fiction and fandom.

We Wuz Pushed is a shorter work in the Conversation Pieces series of chapbooks. Written by Brit Mandelo, it is based on her PhD thesis and is an extensive study of the work of Joanna Russ.

Finally there’s another Conversation Pieces book, Writing the Other. Written by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, it is a guide for authors wishing to write books containing characters from outside of their own culture.

These are all great (and in some cases famous) books. I’m delighted to have them in stock.
