Short But Concentrated #2

By Una McCormack

Short But Concentrated #2
  • Publisher: Fifth Storey Press, Cambridge, UK
  • Editor: Una McCormack
  • Published: 21st September 2024

Short But Concentrated #2 is a second essay symposium on the works of Lois McMaster Bujold, edited by Una McCormack.

“…We sought to expand not only readings of Bujold’s work, but to take account of ancillary production inspired by her work, and to establish Bujold as a major figure in postwar American sff literatures, worthy of sustained critical analysis. I hope that this second symposium contributes further to this aim.”

Una McCormack

Subjects include classical allusions in the Vorkosigan saga, analysis of Penric and Desdemona cover art, practical theology in The World of the Five Gods, mirroring in two Vorkosigan novellas, and the proto-university in The Sharing Knife series. With contributions from: Helen Lovatt, Joel Merriner, Lucas John Mix, Amy H. Sturgis, and Katharine Woods.
