Summary

The Emperor of Gondwanaland confirms Paul Di Filippo as a writer whose talent is matched only by his range. Resisting neat classification, Di Filippo's fiction spans genres-from cyberpunk to alternative history to very funny tales involving talking, biogenetically-enhanced beavers. As whimsical as they are intelligent, the stories gathered here, each introduced by the author, find strange characters in even stranger circumstances. But Di Filippo's writing is more than just a pyrotechnics show, and his stories offer profound, often biting insights. Book jacket.
