In conjunction with the excerpt from James Morrow’s new novel Galápagos Regained appearing in BCS #164 and Audio Fiction Podcast BCS 141, we’re giving away a signed copy of the novel.
James Morrow is a multiple World Fantasy and Nebula Award winner for his unique brand of lyrical literary F/SF tinged with erudite wit and satire, including novels such as Towing Jehovah and Shambling Towards Hiroshima.
Galápagos Regained, out this week, follows the fictional Chloe Bathurst, a marginally popular Victorian actress, who is inspired by her interactions with the illustrious Charles Darwin to journey across the Atlantic Ocean, up the Amazon, and over the Andes to the Galápagos Archipelago.
