The James Tiptree Award Anthology 1: Sex, the Future & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Edited by Karen Joy Fowler, Pat Murphy, Debbie Notkin & Jeffrey Smith. Tachyon Publications, 2005

This anthology gathers short fiction, novel excerpts and essays that were chosen by the Tiptree Award jurors in 2003, and in previous years. In addition, the collection includes essays and commentary by Ursula K. Le Guin, Joanna Russ, Suzy McKee Charnas, and Alice Sheldon. Booklist described the volume as “A superior array of creative and thoughtful writing for both genders.”

The first in a new series of anthologies celebrating the Tiptree Award, this volume features works selected by the jury of the 2003 Award. There is an excerpt from the winning novel, Set This House in Order by Matt Ruff, and short fiction by Richard Calder, Kara Dalkey, Carol Emshwiller, Sandra McDonald, Ruth Nestvold and Geoff Ryman. There are also stories by Karen Joy Fowler and Kelly Link from earlier award years; a new translation of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” the story which inspired two modern retellings in this book; introductions by Karen Joy Fowler and Pat Murphy; new essays by Suzy McKee Charnas, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Joanna Russ; and a memoir by Alice Sheldon/James Tiptree herself.
