Natural Consequences: A Novel
Elia Barcelo
The Xhroll, an alien humanoid race whose infertility is bringing them near extinction, come into contact with a crew of very fertile human astronauts. Their encounter on a remote space station will have significant consequences for both species when a human male winds up impregnated.
Elia Barcelo’s setup is funny and feminist, and raises questions of what it means to be male or female -prescient, considering this novel was published in Spanish twenty-five years ago. The anniversary is being celebrated now with the first English-language edition, translated by veteran sci-fi translators Yolanda Molina-Gavilan and Andrea Bell, who also provide a critical introduction.
