Stories for women, for men, and for the rest of us. Female, male, gay, bisexual, straight, transgender, human, alien, or simply other, the Tiptree Award honors fiction that explores and expands our notions of gender. This anthology includes the most recent Tiptree winners and short-listed stories plus thought-provoking tales from previous years and essays that continue the conversation. As one of the Tiptree judges said, "I'm damned if I know what gender is, but I do know when a story is about it." This year's winners, according to juror Cecilia Tan, "stand completely opposed in so many ways--you could almost say they define the opposite edges of what is conceivable for the Tiptree. Haldeman, the well-known, Hemingway-esque, male, very American, hard SF writer at one end, and Sinisalo, the European, not well known (in the U.S. and within our genre, I mean), female contemporary-fantasy writer at the other." Camouflage by Joe Haldeman considers what would happen if a shape-shifting alien predator became, essentially, human. This ageless, sexless entity can take any form. Initially indifferent to gender, the creature faces a gender choice as it grows more human. Haldeman has previously won five Hugo Awards, four Nebula Awards, and the World Fantasy Award. Johanna Sinisalo's winning novel was published in the United States asTroll: A Love Story (Grove Press, 2004), in the United Kingdom asNot Before Sundown (Peter Owen, 2003), and in Finland asEnnen päiävanlaskua ei voi (Tammi, 2000). "A deft novel of how human society is ruled by complex territorial relationships," Cecilia Tan writes of this novel. Sinisalo has previously won the prestigious Finlandia Prize and is known in her home country for her writing for television and comic strips as well as for her science fiction and fantasy.

I don't necessarily agree with all the stories, or even with the judgement that all the stories explore and expand gender. Nor, judging from the introduction, was I expected to. The one thing the editors indented the anthology to do is provoke thought and discussion - and that it has done.
As well as make me think, the anthology was an extremely enjoyable read. Most of the stories are touching, some are funny, some left me badly wanting more. As particular highlights, I single out the two novel extracts (from Joe Haldeman's "Camouflage" and Johanna Sinisalo's "Troll: A Love Story"), both of which ended up on my to-read list (in fact, I acquired a copy of "Camouflage" pretty much immediately and inhaled it over the next week); my first (yes, I know!) real encounter with Ursula K. LeGuin's work, in the form of "Another Story, or a Fisherman of the Inland Sea", a wonderfully compassionate, character-driven story exploring choices about life, love, family and careers; and the touching and witty "Kissing Frogs" by Jaye Lawrence.
In addition to that, the anthology offers a few non-fiction pieces, most notably Nalo Hopkinson's essay "Looking for Clues", which touches on themes of race, gender, and searching for identity in the world around us. I found some of it confirming and expanding my own views on the subject, while some of it was truly eye-opening. The other non-fiction piece which added to my to-read list was "The Brains of Female Hyena Twins" by Gwyneth Jones, a brief overview of recent scientific literature on gender, both human and animal. I'm really looking forward to finding out about the platypi now. (
