Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-25 00:00:00 Garry Stutsel Nice collection of a range of Piercy's work. A treat to see some of her unpublished pieces going all the way back to high school!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-03 00:00:00 Leslie Ross Too complex and a difficult read. I understood what was going on but not really(?). I am not so sure myself. The story is mainly set in a psychiatric hospital. Hence, it is difficult to differentiate delusion from reality. . A feminist science fiction novel. Connie was a battered woman all around and forcibly committed to a mental asylum. She was also forced to undergo an experiment run by seemingly crazy doctors. At the same time, she kept on receiving visions and visits from a time-traveller, Luciente, who then took her to their world - an alternate future that practices non-hierarchy and a loose version of anarchism. In the end, Connie remained trapped in the hospital, never receiving visits from Luciente again. . I was terribly confused throughout. I am sure it is a great story for some but I was not absorbed. The plot is amazing but the writing is hard to follow.
