Lee’s short stories tend to forsake traditional plot arcs in favour of moody subversion, feminist re-slantings, surrealist tints and dream-laden unrealities. The result can be as affective as effective, moving the reader without proffering a destination. SF tale ‘Medra’ proves a standout.

Lee writes dreamily and somehow without burdening the reader. Unfortunately the two new stories (five pages total) are non-events.
