It begins, ‘To define terms at the outset, this will not be a novel so much as a series of notes toward one.’ The writer, referred to throughout in the third person, is a hack writer of science fiction and other genre, as Malzberg was, and there’s plenty of complaining about the pay levels and other drawbacks of the life. In the novel, a spacecraft carrying a cargo of 515 cryogenically preserved dead people falls into a ‘black galaxy’ and its sole crew member lives seven thousand lives, converses with a trio of mechanical Job’s comforters, and finally makes a decision. But what we get is the notes, which shoot off in all directions – lampooning the conventions of science fiction, canvassing the relationship between it and literary fiction, between it and science, discussing the craft of writing, all with tremendous energy and reflexive irony. Metatext about writing a science fiction novel. The novel is about a woman piloting a ship with a cargo of frozen dead people and how she deals with the problem of the ship falling into a black hole. Book explores all sorts of ideas about writing, religion, character development, science fiction as a genre.... I was amused that when the writer refers to an important religious group of three, he expects us to immediately think of Job's three friends---or, more precisely, acquaintances. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The beginning stated this wasn't a novel, but notes that could be a novel at some point. Me, I would liken it to each miniature chapter being a page from a journal of free-writing exercises... Nothing necessarily bad, but disjointed, often not connected to the chap before or after, and nothing really of interest in there either ( )
