 Review of Carol Emshwiller's The Mount & Report to the Men’s Club and Other Stories
The resulting encounter explores erotic possibilities that weren't touched on in "Creature." Another similar story is "Foster Mother." This seemed to me like the cruellest of the three stories, as it's told from the point of view of a lonely woman who is raising a strange creature for the military.
The story shows her loving use of character, and the way she gets outside the typical pop culture clichés by telling the story from unusual perspectives.
After reading some of Emshwiller's short stories, with their intense focus on a character's point of view, I was curious to see how this approach would play out in a longer narrative.
