A review by krdegan
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
Suzanne and I had a long conversation at Nisha's wedding about Science Fiction. She persuaded me that I have perhaps been too judgmental about science fiction books and audiences, and that instead of scorning it, I should give it a try. I did love the Time Traveler's Wife, which could be considered science fiction. And I really loved The Speed of Dark, written by a science fiction writer (and recommended by Suzanne).
In addition to Red Mars, she recommended a book called Kindred in which an African American woman who is in love with a white man keeps getting sucked back in time to save the life of her partner's slave-owning relative. Suzanne (and Frank) convinced me that science fiction just provides a different backdrop in which to analyze current social issues.
Suzanne may have opened up a whole new world of literature for me (although I'm not sure I'm ready for aliens yet...).
