Description

Analog"
Across the Wounded Galaxies includes the most in-depth and comprehensive series of interviews with SF authors ever published."--
Mississippi Review" Unlike those narcoleptic cryptics who nod through the motions of pomo in a prose sterile and besmirched with jargon as that of the most tedious scholarship, McCaffery is locked in a crazy love affair with the contemporary. . . . These interviews are plain fun to read."--
American Book Review"A must for the serious student of the genre."--
