Book Synopsis Fantastic Odysseys by : Mary Pharr
Book excerpt: Eighteen contributions from international scholars take a variety of critical approaches to exploring science fiction narratives. Guest scholar Brooks Landon (U. of Iowa) opens the volume with a discussion of the importance for critics of understanding new technologies. Other topics include, for example, the reshaping of time in the work of modern Latin American authors; the portrayal of gender roles in the science fiction films of the 1950s; and the use of a Wiccan ritual as a transformative element in Hoffman's Der golden Topf. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
