LOVE, Rosaleen

LOVE, Rosaleen
(1940-)
   Australian author, science journalist and lecturer in the history and philosophy of science. RL has been publishing short fiction - not all sf - since 1985, and has won a number of Australian MAINSTREAM awards for her stories. The astringent sf FABULATIONS collected in The Total Devotion Machine and Other Stories (coll 1989 UK) and EvolutionAnnie and Other Stories (coll 1993 UK) are wry, intelligent and often funny; RL's style is straight-faced irony. Her subject matter is often FEMINIST - as in the title story of the second volume, which is a kind ofcounter-version of Roy LEWIS's What We Did to Father (1960) - or ecological.
