Book Review: Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear
For someone who considers themselves a fan of Elizabeth Bear’s work, I sure haven’t talked about her work all that much on this blog. Two of my favorite science fiction novels — Carnival and Dust — were written by Bear, so it should come as no surprised that her latest novel, Karen Memory, would entice me equally as much as her much earlier work. This novel, of course, is not the same kind of thing as Carnival and Dust, both more connected to a long and storied tradition of science fictional writing. Karen Memory is delicious late 19th-century pulp pastiche steampunk!
