Taken together, these books delineate a subset of politically conscious speculative literature, which can be understood collectively as projected political fiction. While Thomas Horan addresses problematic aspects of this subgenre, particularly sexist and racist stereotypes, he also highlights how some of these texts locate social responsibility in queer and other non-heteronormative sexual relationships, anticipating the ideas of various cultural theorists. In these novels, even when the illicit relationship itself is truncated, sexual desire fosters hope and community. 000939714 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 19, 2018). 000939714 650_0 $$aFiction$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000939714 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHoran, Thomas, 1974-$$tDesire and Empathy in Twentieth-Century Dystopian Fiction.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer Science and Business Media : Palgrave Macmillan, 2018$$z3319706748$$z9783319706740$$w(OCoLC)1006450938 000939714 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in utopianism. 000939714 852__ $$bebk 000939714 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-70675-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000939714 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:939714$$pGLOBAL_SET 000939714 980__ $$aEBOOK 000939714 980__ $$aBIB 000939714 982__ $$aEbook 000939714 983__ $$aOnline 000939714 994__ $$a92$$bISE
