The Pets We Have Killed

The Pets We Have Killed

Past. Present. Future.

In 1959 a schoolgirl is caught in the rivalry between two male teachers. In 1982 a New Zealander in her thirties is introduced to a snake in San Diego. In 2075 a government official drafts a summary of the first stage in NZ’s new-style elections.
These eighteen stories mark Barbara Else’s return
to fiction for adults. They are notable for their range in genre and tone, from realism to science fiction and fantasy, from subversive humour and sharp satire to thoughtful and humane contemplation of the human condition. Many are about romantic relationships – fresh and new, would-be, or long gone.
With Barbara’s trademark wit, all demonstrate
how the problems women face change little as time passes...
