Ce roman partiellement épistolaire est difficile à classer. Il y a un côté eau de rose indéniable. Poétique et sensuel, ce roman nous entraîne au travers du multivers et du temps, que deux entités manipulent à l’envi en envoyant des agentes pour tuer, orienter, influer. Les êtres humains y sont des objets fragiles et des jouets d’un destin décidé par des abstractions. J’y ai goûté chaque mot. #mastolivre #vendredilecture #SF #fantasy

#pennedpossibilities 633 — How did you choose the title for your story, and what significance does it hold for you?
Mars Needs Women was a 1968 schlock female-exploitation film. The title has had staying power (pun intended) even if the film didn't. My feminist SF short novel (now in revision) is about a woman from an endpoint technological religio-fascist society (2024 thru the 2100s) that takes biblical patriarchy seriously and leaves women few options but to be exploited. I wanted to show how women might run a society differently if they could get their chance.
The title came to me quickly, with the verb set instead to the past tense: Mars Needed Women. This is because women were contracted for colonization purposes, to have children. It's from a recruitment poster early in the story. When the colonization effort goes bankrupt and men die disproportionately compared to the imported women, the dynamics of power change. Over the 25 year span of the story, women and their predominately female native Martian children take over the jobs and then governing. When the women declare themselves an independent matriarchal nation, Earth's patriarchy slanders (ring a bell about modern time?) Mars' women so as to have an excuse to put down the "rebellion."
However, women don't fight like men. War isn't a game when you are keeping your children alive… This is why Mars needed women to survive.

#PhilipKDick - Der dunkle Schirm. 1989
Die #Dystopie von 1977 ist ein Klassiker der #ScienceFiction. In einer #USA der Dealer und Junkies soll der Held den Drogenhandel observieren. Dabei verfällt er dem Rausch und kann nicht mehr unterscheiden, wer wen überwacht. Die Wirklichkeit zerfasert ...
Ein Meisterwerk über den Zerfall unter Drogen und eine politische Warnung vor dem moralischen Niedergang. Eindrucksvoll und sehr lesenswert!

What is one thing you've always wanted to share about one of your stories/your writing experience that you've never had an opportunity to share?
I can't answer that one off the cuff, I'm afraid. But I will say that my stories are often a reflection of how much my mother's life made her a hero for me. She was a 1st generation American and a black sheep in the family. She was a bailbondswoman in the 60s (and did her own bounty hunting), participated in the civil rights movement, and even (she said) burnt her bra. She raised me, while helping run companies, often as a single mom despite multiple marriages. She didn't take shit from men, except when she did. She was far from perfect, thus so are my characters.

にしても、#海野十三 の『火星兵団』は長い！めちゃ読んでいるのに、まだ6%しか読んでない。（アップルのブックアプリで読んでる。）
子供向けに書かれていて、妙に優しい日本語で、非常にクセのある文章だ。繰り返しが多い。多分、子供たちに意味がしっかり伝わるためだと思うけど（私も学生に意味を伝えるために大事なことを繰り返して言う）、これはこれで効果的で面白い表現。#戦時中 に書かれていて、#国家主義 もたっぷり入ってるけど、なかなか面白い。キャラクターの一人一人が立体的で感情移入しやすい。昨日読み終えた押川春浪の『月世界競争探検』とエライ違い。（リンクはアップルだけど、この本は青空文庫でも読めます。）#SF #サイエンスフィクション #科学空想小説

Guten Morgen allerseits 
Zum Start ins Wochenende ein schöner Satz des großen amerikanischen SF-Autors Philip K. Dick über uns und die Mächtigen.
“This is a mournful discovery:
1)Those who agree with you are insane
2)Those who do not agree with you are in power.”
Philip K. Dick - VALIS (1981)
