The Best of Science Fiction 12

Carol Emshwiller is the wife of the experimental moviemaker, and s-f illustrator, Ed Emshwiller. Like Katherine MacLean, she began as a writer of (outstanding but) conventional science-fiction — then stopped publishing for several years, while her work underwent an extraordinary development. In the last two years, new series of distinctive individual character have appeared in Transatlantic Review, City, Cavalier, and the anthology Dangerous Visions.
