| Summary |
"Brutal, comic, obscene, and crystalline, Stream System runs from the haunting zLand Deal,y which imagines the colonization of Australia and the ultimate vengeance of its indigenous people as a series of nested dreams; to zFinger Web,y which tells a quietly terrifying, fractal tale of the scars of war and the roots of misogyny; to zThe Interior of Gaaldine,y which finds its anxious protagonist stranded beyond the limits of fiction itself."--Amazon.com. |
