Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air
(2025)(Book 96 in the Conversation Pieces series)
A collection of stories by L Timmel Duchamp
Like Shards of Rainbow Frolicking in the Air collects three early and one new story by L. Timmel Duchamp. The Tiptree/Otherwise Award Honor list story ‘Motherhood, Etc.,’ explores gender issues through a nineteen year-old’s defiant challenge to medical authorities determined to control their body and contain their sexual difference. Another Tiptree/Otherwise Honor List story, ‘Welcome, Kid, to the Real World,’ explores the grip that sexual dimorphism presented as an either/or choice has on a culture offering a seemingly limitless menu of choices to young adults. In ‘The Last Nostalgia,''' Daisy Q seeks to map the City, a territory lying between the Real World and the Excellent World, home to poets and mathematicians. And finally, in ‘When Joy Came to the World,’ a USian graduate student doing archival research in Florence experiences the joys of mass hedonism following a mysterious snowfall in the Arno.
