Dryland's End

Felice Picano, Author Southern Tier Editions $24.95 (525p) ISBN 978-1-56023-520-0

In his introduction to the reprint, Felice Picano calls his 1995 SF novel, Dryland's End, ""one of my least-known, least-written-of or spoken-of books, yet at the same time one of my most ardently beloved books."" Picano (Like People in History) raises some interesting gender issues in this provocative tale of the far future. .
