LA TOURETTE, Aileen

(1946-)

   US-born writer, in the UK from 1968, whose advocacy of a radical FEMINISM informs most of her work, all of which is sophisticatedly told. Her sf novel, Cry Wolf (1986), however, assays a somewhat jumbled moral scan of the events leading up to a nuclear HOLOCAUST in language both too ornately self-referential and too abstract to convey much of the subsequent shattered world as it attempts to sort truth from myth and to build anew.
