Rediscovery 3: Science Fiction

Surfing the New Wave.

Containing 19 pieces of fiction, Rediscovery Volume 3 is particularly resonant with pieces like Sonya Dorman’s “The Deepest Blue in the World”, a prototype for The Handmaid’s Tale. And Pam Zoline’s “The Heat Death of the Universe”, which fused the New Wave and feminist science fiction. And Hilary Bailey’s alternate history masterpiece, set in a Nazi-conquered (but not subdued!) England, “The Fall of Frenchy Steiner”.

With a host of Afterwords by luminaries from Seanan McGuire to Marie Vibbert, as well as a number by relatives of the authors, Rediscovery Volume 3 will be an indispensable part of every library, whether you’re a casual SF fan or a rarefied scholar!

Note: A prior printing of this book contained an error: the Hilary Bailey story, “The Fall of Frenchy Steiner,” was incorrectly attributed to Margaret St. Clair in some of the internal text.

Praise for Rediscovery

“What’s most important about this series and the work Gideon is doing is that it continues to shine a light on the important and often lost voices of women in science fiction…I’m so glad to see broader recognition for the foundational work of these female science fiction authors.”

Dr. Lisa Yaszek, Regents Prof. Science Fiction Studies. School of Literature, Media, & Communication, Georgia Tech

Single-author collections are a fine way to discover new authors, but sometimes a selection is even better. One cannot know if one enjoys something until one samples it. If variety is your desire, track down Gideon Marcus’ Rediscovery Vol 1: SF by Women (1958–1963). Not only will you find fourteen classic tales of science fiction by fourteen different authors, but each story is accompanied by commentary by a modern luminary. Best of all, Marcus sidesteps the usual trap of reprinting stories already often published. Even if you are familiar with Judith Merril, Rosel George Brown, Kit Reed, and the other classic authors, the odds are very good you have not read these particular works.

Over half a decade later, separated from a time when many authors veiled behind initialed pen names to survive in the male centric industry, the one gleaming constant is that these stories aged well. This is vital when trying to introduce new readers to older work. Some of these names may be more familiar than others, but that should change.

We can’t wait to see what Journey Press brings us next because Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women is a bright reminder of what science fiction fandom is all about.

James Nicoll Reviews

Kudos to the editing team for going beyond the usual selections for the classic authors featured herein. Most of these stories were entirely new to me.

An exemplary assortment of SF from half a century ago, this anthology should appeal to people familiar with the period and people unfamiliar with it wishing to gain familiarity.
