Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

An abortive attempt to create a new race of creatures unites the mysterious genetic scientist Dr. Florida with five genetically tailored children in a poignant story that explores the repercussions of humanity's search for perfection. The power of Reed's ( The Leeshore ) storytelling comes from his ability to filter adult foibles through the eyes of his child-narrator. Recommended for sf collections.-- JC

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a crying shame..., May 14 1997
By A Customer
Black Milk is an outstanding book. It takes a long, hard child's-eye look at the idea of genetic engineering. Reed plays a classy trick on the reader by making his narrative first-person--in the person of a child with a slightly faulty gene set who remembers everything he witnesses exactly as it happened. Black Milk is suitable for young readers, but it is also a good read for adult SF fans.

It is a crying shame this book is so hard to find: I would love to teach it in a college literature class (I've tried and failed because it is out of print).
