Description

A long forgotten Beat poet brought back to life in utterly fantastical fashion. In beautifully vivid journal entries, Black poet Mardou Fox chronicles her 1950s and '60s experiences with the Beat Generation--and her adventures in the mysterious, otherworldly realm "over the fence." Characters based on star Beat authors like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac fight alongside Mardou or battle against her as she challenges racism and sexism to win happiness, freedom, and respect for her work. Are the answers she's seeking shrouded in the mists of magic? Inspired by the true story of Alene Lee, whose crucial role is often left out of Beat Generation lore.

About the Author

Nisi Shawl's first novel, Everfair, was a finalist for the 2016 Nebula Award. In 2009 their Aqueduct story collection Filter House received the Otherwise Award. They have published three other short fiction collections--Something More and More (Aqueduct, 2010), A Primer to Nisi Shawl (Dark Moon Books, 2017), and Talk Like a Man (PM Press, 2019). Shawl is, with Cynthia Ward, the author of Writing the Other: A Practical Approach (Aqueduct, 2005), and has edited numerous anthologies, including the World Fantasy Award-winning New Suns: Speculative Fiction by People of Color (Solaris, 2019), Strange Matings: Science Fiction, Feminism, African American Voices, and Octavia E. Butler with Rebecca Holden (Aqueduct, 2013), and Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany with Bill Campbell (Rosarium, 2015).

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
