Beskrivning

The Xhroll, an alien humanoid race whose infertility is bringing them near extinction, come into contact with a crew of very fertile human astronauts. Their encounter on a remote space station will have significant consequences for both species when a human male winds up impregnated.Elia Barceló's setup is funny and feminist, and raises questions of what it means to be "male" or "female"-prescient, considering this novel was published in Spanish twenty-five years ago. The anniversary is being celebrated now with the first English-language edition, translated by veteran sci-fi translators Yolanda Molina-Gavilán and Andrea Bell, who also provide a critical introduction.

Recensioner i media

"Beyond its obvious provocative intention, it is a good science fiction novel, with certain ecological dyes and a powerful reflection on the power of language."—Consuelo Abellán, Origen cuántico
