Mason, Lisa. SUMMER OF LOVE. New York, Toronto, London, Sydney, Auckland: Bantam Books, [1994]. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. "Mason's immersion in the honeypot culture of California intensifies if anything in her second series, the Zhu Wong sequence comprising SUMMER OF LOVE (1994), THE GOLDEN NINETIES (1995) and THE GILDED AGE: A TIME TRAVEL (2011), in which a time traveler from half a millennium hence spends time with some rather attractive 1960s countercultural San Franciscans, though darker realities loom: the future is due to suffer radical Climate Change and other crises, and the visitor from the future is in fact engaging in a Changewar to save the world ..." (SFE online). "Mason may now seem significant for her competent handling of the SF Megatext in the kitchen-sink manner found in some of the best genre SF authors who came to prominence in the late twentieth-century. Equally important, however, is the warmth and intensity of her vision of California in its prime" (John Clute). Trade paperback format. Not published in hardcover. A fine copy. (#169283).
