About This Item

USA: Bantam Spectra Book, 1994. Book. Illus. by Painted Cover Art!. Very Good to Fine. Soft cover. First Edition By This Publisher.. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall.. 312 Pages; 160 Grams; ** Goodreads; In a far-future, post-holocaust Earth, a young healer named Snake travels the world, healing the sick and injured with her companion, the alien dreamsnake. But she is being pursued. ** Wikipedia; The story is set on Earth after a nuclear holocaust. The central character, Snake, is a healer who uses genetically modified serpents to cure sickness-one snake is an alien "dreamsnake", whose venom gives dying people pleasant dreams. The novel follows Snake as she seeks to replace her dreamsnake after its death. ** The book is considered an example of second-wave feminism in science fiction. McIntyre subverted conventionally gendered narratives by rewriting a typical heroic quest to place a woman at its center, and by using devices such as avoiding gender pronouns to challenge expectations about characters' gender identities. Dreamsnake also explored varying social structures and sexual paradigms from a feminist perspective, and examined themes of healing and cross-cultural interaction. ** The novel was well-received, winning the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, and the Locus Poll Award in 1979; ** SCARCE in this Printing with this Cover; >> Edge wear to covers; surface scratching to covers..
