The Ziggurat by Gene Wolfe traverses a dissolving marriage, a custody dispute, and the visit of time travelers from the future. T. C. Boyles Descent of Man is the subversively funny tale of a man who suspects that his primatologist lover is having an affair with one of her charges. In Schwarzschild Radius, Connie Willis draws an allegorical parallel between the horrors of trench warfare and the speculative physics of black holes. Artfully crafted and offering a wealth of esteemed authorsfrom writers within the genre to those normally associated with mainstream fiction,as well asthose with acrossover reputationthis volume aptly demonstrates that great science fiction appears in many guises.
