Bookseller Information
Bibliographic Details
Book DescriptionNew York: Four Walls Eight Windows, 1995 First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 5" x 8.25". Book summaryThree interlocked short novels about an alternate 19th century. In the first story, a sexually voracious newt that looks like Queen Victoria is cloned to replace the missing monarch. In the second, naturalist Louis Agassiz searches for some magic genitals. In the third, Walt Whitman amorously pursues an only slightly unwilling Emily Dickinson.Media Reviews"Some of the finest and funniest alternate history yet written, this trilogy takes a scalpel to the Victorian mind. Di Filippo's tongue may be planted firmly in his cheek, but he speaks with great clarity." -- Janice M. Eisen, Washington Post Book World Publisher NotesInside the wide realm of science fiction or out, there is nothing like the three short novels in The Steampunk Trilogy. Set in a very alternative 19th Century, they feature a mix of historical and imaginary figures. In Victoria, a young and lissome Queen Victoria disappears from her throne and is replaced by a sexy human/newt clone. The race is on to find the original Victoria and hide the terrible secret from the nation. In Hottentots, Massachusetts is threatened by H.P. Lovecraft-style monsters from the deep and, of course, Hottentots; in Walt and Emily, Emily Dickinson hooks up with a robust and lusty Walt Whitman, loses her virginity, and travels to a dimension beyond time where she and her companions meet the future Allen Ginsberg.
