Review
A beautiful achievement (The Guardian)
It's a haunting, rich, and tender novel that explores the human side of science fiction in a manner that's all too uncommon. The world it creates is vivid and fascinating, and Snake is a marvellously well realized character (Roger Zelazny)
A splendid tale, combining the sensitivity and attention to mood of the new generation of SF writers with a gripping and well-worked-out adventure (Publishers Weekly)
This is a book like a mountain stream - fast, clean, clear, exciting, beautiful (Ursula K. Le Guin)
An accomplished, compelling work (challengingdestiny.com)

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good to Fine. Painted Cover Art! (illustrator). First Edition By This Publisher. 312 Pages; 160 Grams; ** Goodreads; In a far-future, post-holocaust Earth, a young healer named Snake travels the world, healing the sick and injured with her companion, the alien dreamsnake. But she is being pursued. ** Wikipedia; The story is set on Earth after a nuclear holocaust. The central character, Snake, is a healer who uses genetically modified serpents to cure sickness-one snake is an alien "dreamsnake", whose venom gives dying people pleasant dreams. The novel follows Snake as she seeks to replace her dreamsnake after its death. ** The book is considered an example of second-wave feminism in science fiction. McIntyre subverted conventionally gendered narratives by rewriting a typical heroic quest to place a woman at its center, and by using devices such as avoiding gender pronouns to challenge expectations about characters' gender identities. Dreamsnake also explored varying social structures and sexual paradigms from a feminist perspective, and examined themes of healing and cross-cultural interaction. ** The novel was well-received, winning the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, and the Locus Poll Award in 1979; ** SCARCE in this Printing with this Cover; >> Edge wear to covers; surface scratching to covers.
