Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments

A queer cult favorite, The Beatrix Gates is a colorful mix of science fiction, magic realism, memoir, and myth exploring themes of spirituality and transformation. Courage and cowardice contend in a literary odyssey unlike any other. Written especially for this volume, “Trans Central Station” is Pollack’s personal and political take on the transgender experience then and now — and tomorrow? “Burning Beard” is a fiercely revisionist Bible tale of plague and prophecy told through a postmodern prose of many colors. “The Woman Who Didn’t Come Back” is about just what it says. And there is of course PM Press' usual and unusual Outspoken Interview.

Review

“[A] marvelous example of how sci-fi can remythologize the terms of common experience to elucidate and give new and deeper meaning.” Lambda Book Report

Review

“Rachel Pollack’s The Beatrix Gates is a stunning study in identity and mutability. It can be read most easily as a story about transexualism or simply a powerful examination of difference and its more positive consequences, as well as a subtle investigation of exactly what makes our identities.” Green Man Review

Review

“Rachel Pollack is one of the most consistently interesting and individual writers working in the fantasy and science fiction slipstream. Here be magick, real people, alternative worlds, and a fully mature creative consciousness.” Geoff Ryman, author of WAS

Review

"Pollack’s stories flit from fantastical descriptions of transhumanist futures to heartbreaking depictions of young queer people struggling with their bodies and beingness... Equal parts strange and captivating, this collection beautifully speaks Pollack’s truth." Publishers Weekly
