As Others See Us Of The Day

[coalescent]

Noodling around on Amazon, I stumble upon the paperback of Lydia Millet's Oh Pure and Radiant Heart. It does not say "nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award" on the cover; instead, the uncredited "synopsis" concludes:

"Oh Pure and Radiant Heart" is no more a SF novel than "The Time-Traveller's Wife". Instead, it is a powerful and original fiction of responsibility and guilt, today's America, and the peculiar terrors of our nuclear world.

However, customers who bought this item also bought Gradisil, Nova Swing, and Hav (and the paperback for the latter carries an Ursula le Guin blurb, which suggests they're not ignoring the sf market, at least). Ha.

Don't suppose I could swap you Vellum for Red Seas Under Red Skies?

What does this mean? I have both. Or did I lend you Vellum?

Wait, so I don't need to give you the Lynch after all? I'm confused.

No, no I don't have it yet. I was just baffled by what Lal thought he was bringing to the table. Nothing, it would appear. Worst barterer ever.

By the way, Theft is hands down the book of the year.

In my world it was published on the 7th June 2007.
