a thinning fiction keen to aspire” (Groarke, 56, 22-26). Yet even with this meticulous care, the only way to escape the confines of the poem is “by way of leave”, or by flight.

also strongly criticizes organized religion throughout the story, by showing the reader religious leaders who are corrupt and do not follow their doctrines. It is extremely foolish to be too optimistic, because you will become unable to view the world for how it is versus what your perception of it is.

Samuel Delany and Joanna Russ must be thanked equally for their contribution to the function of SF as Delany’s argument that SF is a significant distortion of the present cannot be brought to justice unless it is combined with Russ’s argument that SF serves a didactic function. Without understanding that SF is a distortion…
