Product Description
New Fiction By The Author Whose "Sweet, Sad, Smart, Sexy First Novel Humanizes Cyberspace" (Newsweek).
"On Mars they had microwaves. It's some way of heating food instantly--you can bake a potato in a matter of seconds, reheat coffee in the blink of an eye. In addition they have the convenience of toaster ovens and high-speed blenders . . . And they were just now developing the technology to make an alarm clock that could read your mind and go off exactly when you wanted it to--by playing whatever music you were in the mood for." --from "Mars Needs Women!"
Like the Mars it describes, Sylvia Brownrigg's short fiction is weird, wonderful, and disarmingly everyday. The ten stories of this debut collection feature women who build pyramids, organize an all-bird production of Hamlet, make and model conceptual art--and just might have been, once upon a time, the girl next door.
