Such A Pretty
Face:
Tales of
Power and Abundance
edited by
Lee Martindale
Come join Gene Wolfe,
Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Jane Yolen, Jody Lyn Nye, and
Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, who along with nineteen
other authors, introduce you to some of the funniest,
wildest, sexiest, powerful and normal (considering these
are science fiction, fantasy and horror stories) fat
people on our and a few other planets. Meet a pirate
named "Valkyrie" and a cardsharp named "Fat
Moriah." Meet a zenofitness instructor and an earth-mage
who don't apologize for taking up space. Meet fat cats on
a mission and a very different kind of vampire. Meet
characters for whom "plus size" is about body
size and heart. Brought together in this first-of-its-kind
collection are stories that raise the set point on
adventure and redraw the picture of "the hero"
along the way. These are tales of power and abundance
that prove that heroes and heroines come in all sizes.
