It is an assemblage which is incomplete, meandering and circuitous. The narrative reflects her state of mind as it is a loose collection of fragments: personal notebooks, statements from family, friends and an art critic as well as gallery show reviews. In a similar way, the life of this novel’s central character Harriet Burden (or Harry as many intimates call her) is a mess. She stared around at the audience solemnly proclaiming: “What a mess!” The sight was comical, but through the manner in which she delivered the monologue it was understood that her whole being had tragically unravelled.

Lively and intelligent comments spill over onto Brin's social media pages. Since 2004, David Brin has maintained a blog about science, technology, science fiction, books, and the future - themes his science fiction and nonfiction writings continue to explore. Many have been selected for anthologies and reprints, and most have been published in anthology form. Short stories and novellas have different rhythms and artistic flavor, and Brin's short stories and novellas, several of which earned Hugo and other awards, exploit that difference to explore a wider range of real and vividly speculative ideas. They range from bold and prophetic explorations of our near-future to Brin's Uplift series, envisioning galactic issues of sapience and destiny (and star-faring dolphins!). ![]() At least a dozen have been translated into more than twenty languages. David Brin's science fiction novels have been New York Times Bestsellers, winning multiple Hugo, Nebula and other awards. ![]() |
