NOTES

The story of an isolated post-holocaust community in the Appalachians determined to preserve itself through a perilous experiment in cloning. Sweeping, dramatic, rich with humanity, and rigorous in its science, Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang is widely regarded as a high point of both humanistic and hard science fiction. It won both the Hugo Award and Locus Award on its first publication and is as compelling today as it was then
