THE OUTSPOKEN AUTHORS BUNDLE

The Outpsoken Authors Bundle

What brings together writers as Karen Joy Fowler and Paul Krassner, Kim Stanley Robinson and Marge Piercy? Outspokenness. All the authors in this bundle seek not just to entertain, but to resist, agitate, and confront with their fiction and their non-fiction.

The Outspoken Author series is unique: it covers the gamut of genres, from hard SF to crime and literary fiction, and it collects the underappreciated and hard-to-find work of legendary figures in an accessible format. Not only is there fiction, the authors offer up essays, transcripts of talks and speeches, and ruminations about the writing life. Each volume concludes with an in-depth interview conducted by series editor Terry Bisson, and these go deep: you'll learn about everything from revelations about drag personas to dissections of Trotskyism in the United Kingdom.

Never has a single StoryBundle offered work by so many of speculative literature's most important figures: Ursula K. Le Guin, Samuel R. Delany, Michael Moorcock, and many others. We're offering twenty-three volumes in DRM-free digital formats that are yours to keep till freedom reigns over the world.
