"History revisioned, turned inside out... Bisson's wild and
wonderful imagination has taken some strange turns to arrive at
such a destination."
--Madison Smartt Bell, Anisfield-Wolf Award winner and author of
Devil's Dream "You don't forget Bisson's characters, even well
after you've finished his books. His Fire on the Mountain does for
the Civil War what Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle did
for World War Two."
̦George Alec Effinger, winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards for
Shr�dinger's Kitten, and author of the Mar�d Audran trilogy. "A
talent for evoking the joyful, vertiginous experiences of a world
at fundamental turning points."
--Publishers Weekly "Few works have moved me as deeply, as
thoroughly, as Terry Bisson's Fire on the Mountain... With this
single poignant story, Bisson molds a world as sweet as banana
cream pies, and as briny as hot tears."
--Mumia Abu-Jamal, death row prisoner and author of Live From Death
Row, from the Introduction.
