Beschreibung
Dirty Work? In a manner of speaking, perhaps, but certainly not along the lines of de Sade or Henry Miller."e;Dirty"e; maybe because within this remarkable volume of short stories (a follow-up to her award-winning collection Patterns) author Pat Cadigan unflinchingly explores the implications of technology on modern and near-future societies, humorously challenges our perceptions of reality, and chillingly strips away our civilized facades to confront the bestial nature of our souls.With stories like "e;Home By the Sea,"e; "e;Dispatches from the Revolution,"e; "e;No Prisoners,"e; "e;50 Ways to Improve Your Orgasm,"e; and "e;Naming Names,"e; Pat Cadigan exhibits an enviable ability to tackle a variety of themes, moods, and perspectives. And makes it all seem easy.Featuring 18 stunning fictions (including the previously unpublished "e;Lost Girls"e; written especially for this book)-as well as intriguing author introduction to each story-Dirty Work is a thought provoking, often funny, never compromising collection by one of America's most gifted authors.It doesn't get any better than this.
