Slipstream readings

A fascinating reading list of "slipstream" fiction has been recorded at an sf writers' group blog.  Lots of terrific stuff to read there, plus the opportunity of playing the game of coming up with one's own suggestions.  (I'd pick a different Cormac Macarthy, like Blood Meridian.  And Pynchon's V. is probably more representative. And so on)

I'm glad to see a women authors bibiliography in the same blog post, as the majority of identified slipstream authors are male (8 women noted in the top 27 titles).

Bruce Sterling coined the term in a 1989 article for SF Eye.

this is a kind of writing which simply makes you feel very strange; the way that living in the late twentieth century makes you feel, if you are a person of a certain sensibility. We could call this kind of fiction Novels of Postmodern Sensibility, but that looks pretty bad on a category rack, and requires an acronym besides; so for the sake of convenience and argument, we will call these books "slipstream."
