Octavo, cloth. First U.S. edition. "A quartet of characters travel in 'unspace' and 'untime,' where they learn to create their own subjective realities. Intellectually demanding philosophical SF/fantasy on a solipsistic theme. A highly original work, prized by some readers." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 175. THE HOLE IN THE ZERO "begins as an apparently typical space-opera adventure into further dimensions at the edge of the Universe, but quickly reveals itself as a linguistically brilliant, complex exploration of the nature of the four personalities involved as they begin out of their own resources to shape the low-probability regions into which they have tumbled. Ultimately the novel takes on allegorical overtones. As an examination of the metaphorical potentials of SF language and subject matter, it is a significant contribution to the field." - SFE (online). The New Zealand poet and academic's first (of two) SF book. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 4-221. Clarke, Tale of the Future (1978), p. 155. Reginald 08019. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, Additions. A fine copy in very good dust jacket with some edge wear rubbing, two small internal tape mends, and clipped price. (#104013).
