Damien Broderick has had a major impact as an Australian SF writer
since 1964. He is undoubtedly the leading Australian theorist of
the SF genre' (Russell Blackford, Van Ikin, Sean McMullen, Strange
Constellations). Now, Broderick draws upon his skills as both
critic and novelist to analyze science fiction of the last two
decades, and its earlier roots. The book proposes sf as a
distinctive form of writing, the extreme narrative of difference,
then closely reads authors such as John Barnes, Jamil Nasir, Wil
McCarthy, Robert Grossbach and Poul Anderson. While concentrating
on exciting work published in the USA and Britain, Broderick does
not neglect his own country's contributions, discussing sf by
George Turner and other Australians. His critical voice is wry,
entertaining and occasionally scathing.
