143: "Tiptree's stories often contain a similar rebellion: a woman rejects her secondary role and takes over, while the sympathetic male narrator turns out to be just another part of her problem."

184: "As a writer, Alli belonged to a later generation [of SF 'higher literary tone'], one that wrote more sophisticated fiction still. But if many of Tiptree's stories comment on science fiction in sly and subtle ways, it's partly because Alli knew the field like no other novice. By the time she finally started publishing, she had been a fan for forty years."

211: "Here at last is the language I would like to live in and build on." [art & psych]
213: "the world of the Average Observer ¶ 'contains in addition to "real" objects several sub-classes of dreams, fictions, verbal reports, and so on, which are perfectly "real" in their respective class. Examples would be the bottom of the ocean, germs, the forests of the Amazon, the Land of Oz, the closets in the White House, the gloves left in the car, and the sound of an unseen bird.'" ..."dangerously close to poetry." 
[object oriented ontologies? just boys? girls and more too? what more is there? trans knowledges?]
