Review
"Tiptree is one of science fiction's greatest assets."--"Science Fiction Chronicle""James Tiptree, Jr. is one of science fiction's greats. Tiptree emerged in the late '60s, writing luminous, heartbreaking stories, each written in a distinct voice, each obliquely but beautifully narrated with an eccentric subtlety and a mordant wit."--"San Jose Mercury News""Should whet readers' appetites."--"Dallas Morning News""Tiptree is a master . . . In all ways, she is a truly great writer, perhaps the greatest in science fiction today . . . Her characters are real and human; her word portraits are exquisite and her construction is flawless."--"Baltimore Sun""One of SF's most gifted stylists."--"NY Daily News"
About the Author
James Tiptree, Jr., was actually Alice Hastings Bradley Sheldon (1915-1987), a fact she kept secret for the first ten years of her meteoric career under the Tiptree pseudonym, as she won awards and acclaim. The truth came out in 1977. She also wrote as Raccoona Sheldon. She was born in Chicago, but spent much of her childhood in Africa and India. Her father was a lawyer and traveler. Her mother, Mary Hastings Bradley, was a well known geographer, traveler, and author of 35 books, who also wrote a successful children's book of which Alice was the heroine. After leaving her first career in the CIA in 1955, Sheldon got a Ph.D. in experimental psychology in 1967 and began her writing career. She won the Hugo, Nebula and Jupiter awards for her short fiction. Today, the annual Tiptree Award, for SF that explores and expands gender roles, is given in her memory.
