A Tour Guide In Utopia

by Lucy Sussex

The first collection in fifteen years from one of Australia's major speculative fiction talents. A Tour Guide in Utopia contains a number of award-winning stories, such as 'La Sentinelle', and 'Merlusine'.

Epic, ethereal and earthy; stories of strong and funny characters full of human foibles; stories about ideas. Stories that walk you to the edge of the comfortable world and set your feet along the invisible line. Smart and compelling, inventive and challenging, this is speculative fiction at its very best.

Take a walk with a master story-teller; your world won't be the same when next you open your eyes.
