Sobre IBD

'Women - will men ever understand them? Maybe not, but like Ish we spend our life trying.'- Edward Squires, Not Quite a Novella'I was there along the sidelines, so I can attest the truth of Bill Burkett’s words,' says editor and anthologist Hollis George.Like Homer’s Iliad, this too is an epic story, the recounting of a man’s journey, in this case through a life filled with a strange species called 'woman.' The dedication, quoting the song To All the Girls I Loved Before, says it all. If men are from Mars and women from Venus, here is a sci-fi writer exploring the space between them. Like Moby Dick’s narrator, Ishmael tells of a search with an elusive goal, understanding the women in his life.
