Unsung SF Great

Pamela Zoline's titular "Heat Death" from this collection is often correctly billed as the best short story of the British New Wave movement of the late 60s/early 70s. Postmodern in style, feminist in message, and providing a fascinating blend of hard and soft sf, it deserves to be read more. But don't buy this collection for just "Heat Death" - there are other gems here as well. Although not sf, "The Holland of the Mind" is another pomo masterpiece; "Sheep" is brilliant as well; in fact all of the stories have something to offer. If you like stylistically challenging reading that crosses genre boundaries, this is the collection for you. If only Zoline wrote more!
