I spent most of the weekend hanging around the house reading The White Dragon, which I consider the third book of two trilogies, that of Dragonflight/Dragonquest, and that of the Menolly books. F'lar and Lessa have become the oldsters, and Jaxom, Menolly, and Piemur (and Ruth) are the main characters. I like this book quite a bit, though it doesn't speak to me the way it did when I first read it, since I'm now the same age as Lessa, not Jaxom. One thing that I had forgotten was the sub-theme of Ruth's sexual immaturity, and why Jaxom was relieved. Or maybe that just went over my head the first time. I'm charmed by the thought of a roomful of randy dragonriders having their way with each other while blues and browns try to mate with a green. I also suspect there are scores of fanfics titled "Ruth's First 'Flight'".

James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice B. Sheldon)
In the 1970s she was perhaps the most memorable, and one of the most popular, short story writers.  Her real life was as fantastic as her fiction.


Which science fiction writer are you?
