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)
