Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Of Sex and Faerie is well worth picking up for a fan of any of the authors discussed if the Bujold essay is any example. The interested reader may even pick up on another author or two to dip into and enjoy. --M. M. Justus (on Amazon.com) ... Lennard is intimately familiar with a huge range of genre fiction. It's the sort of close familiarity which skates close to obsession - except that the range of his reference, and the fierce precision of his critical intelligence, mean that he continually makes points which ramify way beyond the detail of the fiction he puts under the microscope. --01Factory (on Amazon.com)

Reseña del editor:

Taking up where Of Modern Dragons (2007) left off, these essays continue Lennard's investigation of the praxis of serial reading and the best genre fi ction of recent decades, including work by Bill James, Walter Mosley, Lois Mcmaster Bujold, and Ursula K. Le Guin. There are groundbreaking studies of contemporary paranormal romance, and of Hornblower's transition to space, while the fi nal essay deals with the phenomenon and explosive growth of fanfi ction, and with the increasingly empowered status of the reader in a digital world. There is an extensive bibliography of genre and critical work, with eight illustrations.
