Suzette Haden Elgin’s AT THE SEVENTH LEVEL attempts to hold contemptible the subjugation of women and instead has contempt for the subjugated in a party trick that still sees use. Round of sarcastic applause.

I’ve been on a tear reading older SF (‘50s-‘80s). Tiresias objects to Theodore Sturgeon’s MORE THAN HUMAN, a 1953 novel exploring human evolution via psychic powers. Structurally & sexually odd & dependent on vintage psych theories, not without merit, & racist in ways too delicate for me to handle.
