Riding the Meridian


"She writes about our machined, manipulated landscape with bold sensual accuracy. Billed as a 'roleplay' as well as a novel, CORRESPONDENCE is formally inventive with a rich sense of humour." (The Village Voice)

"The human ghost escapes into the machine, changing it just as machines would change us. Recommended." (Interzone)

"Sue Thomas's first novel is a highly original, highly complex and highly cerebral self-reflexive piece... an interesting textual cyber-ambush." (The Review of Contemporary Fiction)

"CORRESPONDENCE is a rarity, a complex and artfully written first novel that successfully addresses issues of spiritual transcendence in the context of a good story." (Los Angeles Reader)

"Packed with thrilling ideas... Sue Thomas touches on the religious, artistic, and feminist implications of a cybernetic channelling through a character who is equal parts Frankenstein and Woman Who Loves Too Much. Turn on, jack in, and check out." (Entertainment Weekly)
