Gotlieb is a writer central to the Canadian science fiction canon.
Though she has been called the queen of Canadian SF by Robert J.
Sawyer, and though David Ketterer has suggested that she is
Canadian SF, Gotlieb has been largely overlooked by SF studies.
This book delves deeply into her body of work and traces her career
in detail. Offering close readings of Gotlieb's novels, short
stories (including ones not reprinted since their initial
appearances), and SF-related poetry, this study explores Gotlieb's
development as a writer and her characteristic themes. The book
also references her manuscripts when the differences between them
and the published stories provide insights into her working
methods. The book enumerates and analyses Gotlieb's innovative
explorations of common SF tropes such as the superhuman,
human-alien interaction, and the galactic empire, her prevalent
thematic concerns (e.g., reproduction, colonisation, the mind-body
relationship, the essence of ""humanity"") as well as her
stylistically dense and literary approach to the genre.
