Product Description

Product Description

Steampunk is the twisted offspring of science fiction and postmodernism, a sassy, unpredictable tongue-in-cheek style of which the incomparable Paul Di Filippo is master. The three short novels in The Steampunk Trilogy are all set in a very alternative nineteenth century, and feature a mixture of historical and imaginary figures. In "Victoria," a young and lissome Queen Victoria disappears from her throne and is replaced by a sexy human/newt clone. The race is on to find the original Victoria and to hide the terrible secret from the nation. In "Hottentots," Massachusetts is threatened by monsters from the deep; in "Walt and Emily," Emily Dickinson hooks up with a robust and lusty Walt Whitman, loses her virginity, and travels to a dimension beyond time where she meets the future Allen Ginsberg.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as ground breaking as you might think., 12 Mar 2003
This review is from: The Steampunk Trilogy (Hardcover)
The subgenre of steampunk is, i think, better represented by Perdido Street station by China Mieville than this complilation.

The first story was the strongest, although it seemed to go on for longer than necessary. I certainly smiled, if not laughed, but was not very much amused (weak pun, i know).

The second and third stories also went on a bit, but lacked the wit of the first, and the social comment was rather heavy-handed. I suppose i didn't really understand the context of "Walt and Emily", but nevertheless I was disappointed with the last two thirds of the book.

Read the first one, but the second two aren't worth the bother. For really good steampunk, look elsewhere.
