MEDIA REVIEWS
Genius...Marge Piercy is every bit as imaginative as H. G. Wells or Isaac Asimov or any of the great fantasists,but she is also a fierce and devoted activist who wants us to be more than passive readers...I urge you to read Marge Piercy now.Marge Piercy's characters are complex and very humanHere is somebody with the guts to go into the deepest core of herself,her time,her history,and risk more than anybody else has so far,just out of a love for the truth and a need to tell it.One of the most important novelists of our timeMarge Piercy is the political novelist of our time. More: she is the conscience
