![]() ![]() Author: Russ Joanna Publisher: Mondadori Romanzo di fantascienza e romanzo femminista, dopo cinquant'anni La female man (The Female Man, 1975) non ha perso il suo contenuto provocatorio. «La fantascienza è connaturata al pensiero radicale» ha dichiarato l'autrice: «è molto efficace se si vogliono presentare le preoccupazioni di un gruppo marginale, perché queste si collocano in un mondo in cui le cose sono diverse». E niente è più diverso della 'female man', un essere che incorpora le caratteristiche di entrambi i sessi, protagonista di questa storia che fin dal titolo appare come un monstrum linguistico. Un testo postmoderno, lo presenta Oriana Palusci, «in cui mille schegge di linguaggio costituiscono nel loro insieme l'ossatura-trama della narrazione». Joanna (la stessa Russ) e i suoi alter ego Janet, Jeannine, Jael: ciascuno con un diverso ruolo, uno specifico linguaggio e una connotazione socioculturale, quattro personaggi femminili s'incontrano attraverso il tempo e i mondi. Uno di essi è Whileaway, dove gli uomini sono stati sterminati da un'epidemia, una realtà futura diversa dal nostro futuro così come il presente è un presente che non ha vissuto la Seconda guerra mondiale. Quando Janet da Whileaway si materializza negli Stati Uniti provoca e prova uno shock equiparabile all'apparizione dei marziani nella Guerra dei mondi di Wells: «La prima cosa che disse il secondo uomo che riuscì a visitare Whileaway fu: 'Dove sono tutti gli uomini?'. Janet Evason, quando apparve improvvisamente al Pentagono, con le mani in tasca e le gambe ben piantate per terra, disse: 'Dove diamine sono tutte le donne?'». Dialogano € 14,50

![]() ![]() Author: Russ Joanna Publisher: Enciclopedia delle Donne Un testo forte, vivace, intelligente, «arrabbiato senza essere moralista, meticoloso senza essere spossante, serio senza essere privo di senso dell'umorismo», come scrive Jessa Crispin nella prefazione alla nuova edizione americana. Emily Dickinson non aveva soldi: doveva chiedere al padre i francobolli o il denaro per i libri. Sylvia Plath si alzava alle cinque del mattino per scrivere. In 'Una stanza tutta per sé', Virginia Woolf racconta che 'Villette' (Charlotte Brontë), 'Emma' (Jane Austen), 'Cime tempestose' (Emily Brontë) e 'Middlemarch' (George Eliot), «quegli ottimi romanzi», sono stati scritti da donne «talmente povere che non si potevano permettere di comprare più di due o tre risme di carta alla volta». Joanna Russ smaschera in questo agile testo alcune delle tecniche più subdole e pervicaci messe in atto per impedire che le donne (come altri gruppi discriminati) possano scrivere ed essere riconosciute come artiste. Prospettando un ribaltamento di paradigma potenzialmente rivoluzionario, non solo in letteratura. € 16,00

![]() ![]() Author: Russ Joanna Publisher: Baker & Taylor In 1959, at the age of 22, Joanna Russ published her first science fiction story, 'Nor Custom Stale,' in The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the forty-five years since, Russ has continued to write some of the most popular, creative, and important novels and stories in science fiction. She was a central figure, along with contemporaries Ursula K. Le Guin and James Tiptree, in revolutionizing science fiction in the 1960s and 1970s, and her 1970 novel, The Female Man, is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential depictions of a feminist utopia in the entire genre. The Country You Have Never Seen gathers Joanna Russ's most important essays and reviews, revealing the vital part she played over the years in the never-ending conversation among writers and fans about the roles, boundaries, and potential of science fiction. Spanning her entire career, the collection shines a light on Russ's role in the development of new wave science fiction and feminist science fiction, while at the same time providing fascinating insight into her own development as a writer. € 35,40

![]() ![]() Author: Russ Joanna, Delany Samuel R. (INT) Publisher: Wesleyan Univ Pr A multi-dimensional explosion hurls the starship's few passengers across the galaxies and onto an uncharted barren tundra. With no technical skills and scant supplies, the survivors face a bleak end in an alien world. One brave woman holds the daring answer, but it is the most desperate one possible. Elegant and electric, We Who Are About To... brings us face to face with our basic assumptions about our will to live. While most of the stranded tourists decide to defy the odds and insist on colonizing the planet and creating life, the narrator decides to practice the art of dying. When she is threatened with compulsory reproduction, she defends herself with lethal force. Originally published in 1977, this is one of the most subtle, complex, and exciting science fiction novels ever written about the attempt to survive a hostile alien environment. It is characteristic of Russ's genius that such a readable novel is also one of her most intellectually intricate. € 13,90

![]() ![]() Author: Russ Joanna, Lefanu Sarah (FRW) Publisher: Wesleyan Univ Pr Irene, a rebellious product of an American 1950s upbringing, has fled from a repressive and sexist society into a life of apparent equality and adventure as part of the elite Trans-Temporal Authority's cadre of travelers. Under the tutelage of Ernst, a friend/lover and teacher/father, Irene has achieved status and dignity. Irene and Ernst are assigned to a Muslim world where they meet Zubedeyeh, a young girl whose creativity is being transformed into madness by the male chauvinistic society in which she lives. Vowing to rescue her, Irene unleashes a destructive cycle of violence. Originally published in 1978, The Two of Them is a powerful portrait of a future sexist society. This modern classic conveys its politics with rigor and complexity, in a story filled with suspense and unforgettable characters. € 13,50

![]() ![]() Author: Russ Joanna Publisher: Indiana Univ Pr 'To Write Like a Woman is a rare example of a feminist tackling science fictuion using postmodern theory, which makes for a much more sophisticated and nuanced appraisal than the usual fare.' —Passion 'Russ' essays are witty and insightful. An excellent book for any writer or reader.' —Feminist Bookstore News 'In her new book of essays... Russ continues to debunk and demand, edify and entertain.... Appreciative of surface aesthetics, she continually delves deeper than most critics, yet in terms so simple and accessible that her essays read like lively, angry, humorous dialogues conducted face-to-face with the author. Russ is the antithesis of the distant critic in her ivory tower.' —Paul Di Filippo, The Washington Post Book World '... 20 years of the author's feisty reports from the front lines of literature.' —The San Francisco Review of Books 'This is a book of imaginative and provoking essays, but you should read it for the sheer fun of it.' —The Women's Review of Books 'Collects more than two decades of criticism by Joanna Russ, one of the most perceptive, forthright and eloquent feminist commentators around.' —Feminist Bookstore News '... a super book....This is a book that, for once, really will appeal to readers of all kinds.' —Utopian Studies 'If you enjoy science fiction, this is definitely a book that you'll want to talk about. I found myself sneaking a few pages at times when I really didn't have time to read.' —Jan Catano, Atlantis Classic essays on science fiction and feminism by Nebula and Hugo award-winning Joanna Russ. Here she ranges from a consideration of the aesthetic of science fiction to a reading of the lesbian identity of Willa Cather.
