EMSHWILLER
INFINITY x TWO
The Art & Life of Ed & Carol Emshwiller
Volume 2 of Nonstop’s
Library of American Artists
In 2005 Carol Emshwiller won the
World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, after more
than fifty years of writing beautiful, jewel-like
stories and witty novels. Previously, she had won
Nebula, Philip K. Dick, Gallun, and Icon awards. In the
words of Ursula K. Le Guin, "[Carol] Emshwiller's
readers know her to be a major fabulist, a marvelous
magical realist, one of the strongest, most complex,
most consistently feminist voices in fiction."
At the same time, her husband, Ed
Emshwiller (known professionally as Emsh), was one of
the premiere artists working in the science fiction
field. He used his unique multi-faceted vision of the
future to eventually become an award winning
avant-garde filmmaker and computer animation pioneer.
Together Ed and Carol formed a unique creative pair,
influencing each other in big and small ways.
EMSHWILLER: INFINITY X TWO is the first biography to tell
their story. Luis Ortiz has done a remarkable, and
authoritative, job on this full-length, heavily
illustrated bio of Ed and Carol. It includes an
introduction by her and a foreword by Alex Eisenstein.
This is volume two of the Library of American Artists,
from Nonstop Press in NYC. The book includes
never-before-published art by Ed and Carol, who was an
accomplished artist before she turned to writing.
Besides being a definitive
biography of Ed & Carol, EMSHWILLER: INFINITY X TWO also presents a concise social history
of the science fiction subculture, plus, a similar
treatment of the New York avant-garde film & video
culture.
