New Radical Science Fiction—Hell Yeah! $14.00 | 128 Pages ISBN: 9781629638850 The First Law of Thermodynamics James Patrick Kelly Paperback: $14.00 $11.20 ebook: $8.95 $7.16 Save 20% with coupon code SEPTEMBER until 9/30/21 Buy Now James Patrick Kelly is known for finding the future unnervingly nearby, and he enters with his deep empathy and dry humor at the ready. A longtime favorite of SF readers is at the top of his game here. In the title story, a college acid trip becomes a window into an unexpected and apparently unavoidable future. In “Itsy Bitsy Spider” a disappointed woman’s robotic girlhood takes her by the hand and leads her back to the destiny that eluded her. Two short plays render alien invasion terrifyingly mundane and death annoyingly impermanent. “The Best Christmas Ever” is celebrated by sims and droids instead of the usual jolly elves. Our Outspoken Interview and a bibliography round out this long-awaited new collection. Praise “A quintessentially protean writer; no single adjective suffices for the whole. . . . I continue to be regularly surprised by where he goes and what he’s doing with his fiction.” —Karen Joy Fowler “He changes our attitudes and our perceptions and even our understanding of what the short story can be, and he does it in stories which are disturbing, clever, affecting, funny and unique in every sense of the word.” —Connie Willis “Kelly’s special genius is in writing stories that are so human that they wrench and warm your heart at the same moment.” —Cory Doctorow “James Patrick Kelly has written some of my very favorite short stories. As a matter of fact, I get anxious when I haven’t read a Kelly story in a while. Can’t we just clone him?” —Kelly Link, author of Get in Trouble “Against all law and likelihood, (he goes on) reinventing himself each time out, always questioning the basic premise of what a science fiction story can be, or a James Patrick Kelly story, or a story in the first place.” —Jonathan Lethem Buy Now About the author James Patrick Kelly’s short stories are regular favorites in the science fiction magazines and awards lists. His fiction has been translated into twenty-one languages. He writes a regular column in Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. He was a member of the faculty at the Stonecoast Creative Writing MFA Program from 2005–2018. Appointed by the governor to the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, he served for eight years, the last two as Chair. After graduating magna cum laude in literature from Notre Dame, James Patrick Kelly burst onto the SF field like a runaway rocket with stories that energized a new generation of readers and introduced him to the top rank of SF pros. He has remained there ever since, adding plays, anthologies, and audio books to array of talents.
