Essay collection. I thought I hadn't read this before, but then I recognized some of the essays. Anyway, I was reading along, thinking some of this was a bit dated because written in the '70:s, and then bam, she makes me cry on the tram (with a passage near the end of the essay "Science Fiction and Mrs Brown"). Ha. Also parts of this book turned out to be unexpectedly relevant to my bout with political depression.
The Exile Waiting by Vonda N. McIntyre
I love Dreamsnake, and when I found out that it had a companion novel in the same world, of course I had to get it. I didn't love this book as I loved Dreamsnake, but it was still fairly compelling and I finished it quickly. It's about a young girl stuck in an underground city on the dying Earth, and people who come there from off-planet, and how they interact. The city is the "Center" of Dreamsnake, but there's no character overlap from what I remember.
