Description
American fantasy in the 1980s is often associated with big, bloated series of novels steeped in Tolkien and Dungeons and Dragons. The Falling Woman is something very different. It isn't set in some imagined world stuck in the middle ages - the story occurs in contemporary Mexico, in and around an archaelogical dig site. But this is a fantasy novel - in which the dead have a profound effect on the living.This episode takes a look at Pat Murphy's 1986 novel, which won the Nebula Award for Best Novel the following year - beating out authors like Gene Wolfe, David Brin, and Greg Bear.
