The Stone Gods
The Stone Godsby Jeanette Winterson
(Harcourt, $24)
Not too many fictional years from now, the planet Orbus has been devastated by a global war and is on the edge of environmental meltdown. The hope for humanity is just-discovered Planet Blue, where - if the dinosaurs could only be wiped out - humankind might resettle. That's the core of Winterson's post-apocalyptic romp, sometimes seriously polemical (even downright didactic) as it condemns out-of-control consumer consumption and accelerating climate change, and sometimes deliciously satirical. Read more of this review and other Book Notes in the Seallte Gay News or purchase a copy of The Stone Gods.
