Science Fiction: The Last Voyage of Skidbladnir By Karin Tidbeck




(Drivebycuriosity) - I am fascinated by spaceships. They transport their passengers to far away places, using often exotic technologies. Karin Tidbeck`s novella "The Last Voyage of Skidbladnir" (amazon ) describes a very special spaceship, named Skidbladnir, which is rather a living thing than a technology. Tidbeck belongs to the new crowd of females who enrich the genre with funny ideas. I found her weird ideas interesting, but I am not sure that this fairy tale belongs to the scifi genre. The surreal plot is more inspired by Franz Kafka then by Isaac Asimov.
