"Stuff's all packed, Phil, and on the wagon. Camera safe on top and your suit-case tied to the tail-gate. Shall we march?" "Not crazy about it, daddy. Why not linger another week? We can unlimber in a jiffy." "It's a tempting proposition, old lady, but I haven't the nerve." Kirkwood dropped an armful of brush on the smouldering camp-fire and stood back as it crackled and flamed. There came suddenly a low whining in the trees and a gust of wind caught the sparks from the blazing twigs and flung them heavenward. He threw up his arm and turned his hand to feel the wind. "The weather's at the changing point; there's rain in that " "Well, we haven't been soaked for some time," replied Phil. "We've been awfully respectable." "Respectable," laughed her father.

A Phyllis of the Sierras

A phyllis of the sierras opens in the remote expanse of the Sierra Nevada, where a traveler from abroad wanders from the main path into a world marked by rustic charm and quiet complexity. Drawn to the serenity of the landscape and seeking escape from physical and emotional weariness, the traveler arrives at a homestead perched above a deep canyon. The household, run with quiet order and warmth, offers a place of rest, where the rhythms of frontier life contrast with the visitor s past experiences. Early encounters reveal vibrant domestic conversations and moments of unexpected candor, hinting at deeper emotional landscapes. Tensions arise not through overt conflict but through subtle gestures, overheard dialogue, and the pressures of unspoken expectation. The presence of strong, independent local women, their layered expressions and shifting moods, shapes the evolving emotional atmosphere. Illness becomes a lens through which vulnerability and desire emerge, and as days pass, nature s grandeur and the household s quiet routines begin to erode the traveler s detachment. The novel moves with a gentle but persistent undercurrent, weaving reflections on place, connection, and the often-unexpected course of human feeling.
Gotlieb is a writer central to the Canadian science fiction canon. Though she has been called the queen of Canadian SF by Robert J. Sawyer, and though David Ketterer has suggested that she is Canadian SF, Gotlieb has been largely overlooked by SF studies. This book delves deeply into her body of work and traces her career in detail. Offering close readings of Gotlieb's novels, short stories (including ones not reprinted since their initial appearances), and SF-related poetry, this study explores Gotlieb's development as a writer and her characteristic themes. The book also references her manuscripts when the differences between them and the published stories provide insights into her working methods. The book enumerates and analyzes Gotlieb's innovative explorations of common SF tropes such as the superhuman, human-alien interaction, and the galactic empire, her prevalent thematic concerns (e.g., reproduction, colonization, the mind-body relationship, the essence of "humanity") as well as her stylistically dense and literary approach to the genre.
