Bookreporter.com - A PARADIGM OF EARTH by Candas Jane Dorsey (513 words) |
 | In a way, this was also a test of Dorsey's splendid narrative art as it weaves through a compelling near-future novel, in which an unformed alien and some very unconventional humans are brought together to learn Life 100 in an unexpected context. |
| Dorsey takes a bold and risky approach (one that pays off awesomely) by placing all of her characters on the margins of so-called "normal" life. |
| Dorsey, unarguably one of the finest science-fiction writers Canada has ever produced, builds everyday language into an eloquent symphonic fabric of theme and resolution that kept me irresistibly moving from chapter to chapter. |
