PASSING STRANGE
PASSING STRANGE is a romance and a mystery, but it's also a love letter to a city, to female friendship, to the fantasy genre as a whole.
In present-day San Francisco, a mythical painting is discovered, one thought to have been lost forever when the artist, Haskel, disappeared without a trace eighty years ago.
In 1940, Loretta Haskel - who paints covers for pulp fiction - meets Emily, a newcomer to San Francisco, a city that serves as a haven for the unconventional. The two fall in love in the cities within the city: the glittering city of the World's Fair and the forbidden city of Chinatown. When an act of violence threatens to tear them apart, Haskel and Emily will turn to science and magic - and the enduring power of art - to find a place of their own.
ELLEN KLAGES is the author of two acclaimed historical novels: The Green Glass Sea, which won the Scott O'Dell Award, and the New Mexico Book Award; and White Sands, Red Menace, which won the California and New Mexico Book awards. Her story, "Basement Magic," won a Nebula Award and "Wakulla Springs," co-authored with Andy Duncan, was nominated for the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus awards, and won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novella. She lives in San Francisco, in a small house full of strange and wondrous things.
