The dream-quest of Vellitt Boe / Kij Johnson. by Johnson, Kij. Tom Doherty Associates, [2016] Call #: FICTION JOH Subjects College teachers -- Fiction.   Quests (Expeditions) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780765391414 (trade pbk.) 0765391414 (trade pbk.) Alternate title:  Dreamquest of Vellitt Boe. Edition:  1st ed. Description:  169 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "Kij Johnson's haunting novella The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is both a commentary on a classic H.P. Lovecraft tale and a profound reflection on a woman's life. Vellitt's quest to find a former student who may be the only person who can save her community takes her through a world governed by a seemingly arbitrary dream logic in which she occasionally glimpses an underlying but mysterious order, a world ruled by capricious gods and populated by the creatures of dreams and nightmares. Those familiar with Lovecraft's work will travel through a fantasy landscape infused with Lovecraftian images viewed from another perspective, but even readers unfamiliar with his work will be enthralled by Vellitt's quest. A remarkable accomplishment that repays rereading."--From publisher. Genre:  Science fiction. Portal fantasy. Magic realism (Literature) Novellas.
