Product Description
Review
"Fine science fiction, a challenging sexual polemic, and a wittily, economically constructed novel."--Kirkus
Product Description
Irene, a rebellious product of an American 1950s upbringing, has fled from a repressive and sexist society into a life of apparent equality and adventure as part of the elite Trans-Temporal Authority's cadre of travelers. Under the tutelage of Ernst, a friend/lover and teacher/father, Irene has achieved status and dignity. Irene and Ernst are assigned to a Muslim world where they meet Zubedeyeh, a young girl whose creativity is being transformed into madness by the male chauvinistic society in which she lives. Vowing to rescue her, Irene unleashes a destructive cycle of violence. Originally published in 1978, The Two of Them is a powerful portrait of a future sexist society. This modern classic conveys its politics with rigor and complexity, in a story filled with suspense and unforgettable characters. This Wesleyan edition includes a foreword by Sarah LeFanu, a feminist writer and broadcaster in the U.K. and author of In the Chinks of the World Machine (1988).
