"An assertion about the ineradicable goodness of people that reminds me of what SF at its best -- as in H. G. Wells -- can be". -- Commonweal on Beggars and Choosers"It should be clear to all that Nancy Kress is a dominant figure in modern science fiction", said Analog in a recent review. Her stories and novels are among the most prominent of the 1990s. Now her best short stories of the decade are collected for the first time in Beaker's Dozen. This substantial collection includes many award nominees, as well as the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novella, "Beggars in Spain", the wellspring of her famous Beggars trilogy of novels. Kress's SF is one of the standards by which others are measured today."Kress uses elegant, eloquent prose, wonderful and believable characters, and fascinating speculation to come to grips with some of the most important and troubling questions of the late twentieth century -- technology, freedom, love, and law -- and manages to tell a gripping story at the same time. Read this". -- Lisa Goldstein on Beggars and Choosers
