Recenzii

'Fantasy has always been a rebel’s mode, a means of sneakily saying unwelcome or disturbing things about one’s society, or of offering a more or less plausible alternative to it. The stories and poems in this book are all, in one way or another, fantastic, all are rebellious, subversive, critical, or teasing, cheerfully or fiercely knocking the posts from under the Status Quo… Mothers and daughters, women friends, women lovers, women and children, women and animals – the book is full of pairings, interweavings, minglings, transformations, transgressions of boundaries between generations, between species, between realms. Borders which we’re used to seeing well sprayed and marked with neat piles of scat become crossings, trysting places, meeting grounds… '— Ursula K. Le Guin
