An aged superhero and her granddaughter. Bickering sisters whose lives are altered by the discovery of a small winged male. A woman in search of art. A tale from the time when humans lived in the sea. These stories and the others that make up Carol Emshwiller’s Report to the Men’s Club are all very different in many ways. But they have their similarities, too, namely an intense interest in how folks (human or otherwise) relate to one another and an impish sense of humor.
Eh, I found one or two of them okay, but most didn't do anything for me.
