★ “This beautifully written debut is a thorough, well-realized
picture of a world with a radically different concept of gender and
the body that nonetheless has its own forms of oppression.
Rosenbaum's novel is essential reading for anyone interested not
only in speculative fiction that plays with gender norms, but also
in quality SF in general. Highly recommended.” —Booklist, starred
review
“[A] complex meditation on fame, taboo, gender, and social control
. . . as mind-bending as it is satisfying.”—Publishers Weekly
An immersive future history, The Unraveling is a
fantastic adventure that is also a story about the love that binds
us to each other—and to the galaxy itself. Rosenbaum’s writing is
wonderfully complex and whimsical, but most of all it is humane. No
matter how alien his characters and worlds, they feel like
kin.” —Annalee Newitz, Hugo and Lambda Award-winning
author of Autonomous
"I hope a ton of people read this book, think about it, and talk
about it, as this is the book that could launch a hundred think
pieces and a thousand imitators . . . I truly feel
like The Unraveling is a reinvention of new directions
stories can go when playing with science fiction’s favorite
questions: What If? Why Not?" —Little Red Reviewer
Praise for The Ant King and Other Stories:
"Give him some prizes, like, perhaps, "best first collection" for
this book." —Booklist (Starred review, Top 10 SF Books of the
Year)
"Featuring outlandish and striking imagery throughout . . . this
collection is a surrealistic wonderland." —Publishers Weekly
"Urbane without being arch, sweet without being maudlin, mysterious
without being cryptic."—Cory Doctorow, author of Boing Boing
"Lively, bizarre, and funny as well as dark, sinister, and
sensual." —Boston Phoenix
"Contains invisible cities and playful deconstructions of the form.
In "Biographical Notes to 'A Discourse on the Nature of Causality,
With Air-Planes,' by Benjamin Rosenbaum"—yes, his name is part of
the title—the author imagines a world whose technologies and
philosophies differ wildly from ours. The result is a commentary on
the state of the art that is itself the state of the art." —Los
Angeles Times (Favorite Books of 2008)
