Flesh and Gold by Phyllis Gotlieb

selfnoise's review against another edition

4.0

A sort of film noir social sf novel that leaves just one too many questions for me. The atmosphere is well done but you don't get the impression of why this particular future is the way it is. A fun read, though.

UPDATE: I just read again and am adding a star. This book really stuck with me in and odd way and I enjoy the pulpiness mixed with a sort of sordid noir feel.

What a great discovery Phyllis Gotlieb has been. Whats starts as somewhat confusing introductions to an array of strange characters is eventually woven together into a fantastic and sordid story. My measure of a good science fiction novel is to imagine if it would be able to stand if re-told in a different genre. Flesh and Gold stands to that measure. A good piece of Canadian Sci-fi and Canadian literature.
