The Xhroll, an alien humanoid race whose infertility is bringing
them near extinction, come into contact with a crew of very fertile
human astronauts. Their encounter on a remote space station will
have significant consequences for both species when a human male
winds up impregnated. Elia Barcelo's setup is funny and feminist,
and raises questions of what it means to be "male" or
"female"-prescient, considering this novel was published in Spanish
twenty-five years ago. The anniversary is being celebrated now with
the first English-language edition, translated by veteran sci-fi
translators Yolanda Molina-Gavilan and Andrea Bell, who also
provide a critical introduction.
