Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition: 2016, 1st printing. 368pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "These twenty-two acclaimed literary authors have marched across the border of the real and claimed science fiction as their own. A diverse group including Junot Diaz, Katherine Dunn, Amiri Baraka, Rivka Galchen, Jonathan Lethem, Jim Shepard, Molly Gloss, George Saunders, and Steven Millhauser have attacked our future on earth and beyond. They have seized upon tales of technology gone wrong and mandated that pulp fiction be considered all grown-up. [] In these wildly speculative stories, there is one company that controls the world from an alley in Greenwich Village. Nanotechnology can return memories to the residents of a nursing home. An alien might even become a mascot for a Major League Baseball team. The INVADERS are here. But did science fiction colonize them first?" [publisher copy] "In this very fine reprint anthology, Weisman has brought together 22 SF stories by authors who, although not generally associated with the genre, are clearly fellow travelers (not the ominous invaders suggested by the title). Among the best of the consistently strong stories are Díaz's 'Monstro,' the horrifying tale of a disease outbreak in Haiti; Gloss's near-perfect first-contact story, 'Lambing Season'; W.P. Kinsella's totally bizarre 'Reports Concerning the Death of the Seattle Albatross Are Somewhat Exaggerated'; Ben Loory's fable-like 'The Squid Who Fell in Love with the Sun'; and Saunders's 'Escape from Spiderhead,' a deeply sexy tale of wild experimental science. In general, the stories tend toward satire and emphasize fine writing more than hitting genre beats--technology is usually a means to an end rather than the center of the story--but most of them could easily have found homes in SF magazines. This volume is a treasure trove of stories that draw equally from SF and literary fiction, and they are superlative in either context."--Publishers Weekly. "Well, damn. From the first page to the last, INVADERS surprised and intoxicated me, offering one stirring, visionary, warm-hearted, funny, probing story after another. Reading them in quick succession made me feel as if the world was flickering before my eyes, ricocheting from one possible reality to another, beneath a dozen different suns. It would be hard to devise a better survey of those contemporary short fiction writers, both celebrated and undersung, who have worked to smuggle the methods of science fiction into the mainstream."--Kevin Brockmeier. "For almost forty years I've believed and practiced and preached that there's no necessary distance between 'high literature' and 'science fiction.' INVADERS is convincing proof. Funny, absurd, frightening, streetwise, probing, heartbreaking--the fiction collected here touches all registers."--Carter Scholz.
