The men are interviewed by the women, having been lightly drugged to lose their inhibitions; and it's strongly implied that as the story ends, they are about to be killed off as a danger to humanity. It's chilling but also very subtle, and I wonder how many of those who voted for it in 1977 actually understood the full point. A short, lurid story featuring a clash of cultures, some strong language - especially for its time, and an interesting take on 'The War of the Sexes'. I especially enjoyed the drug-addled beginning where not much was making sense - until the main character realizes he is under the influence and begins to regain sobriety - at which point the narrative settles into more standard style. That was some nice writing. For those that don't like curse words in their reading... this short and rather brilliant story may not be for you. Tiptree throws some pretty heavy language around - but it's not in the least gratuitous as it is integral to the plot - and how things end up. This is the first Tiptree I have read. It won't be the last. http://speculiction.blogspot.com/2014/01/review-of-houston-houston-do-you-read.h... Review for the other half: Joanna Russ' Souls to come soon... sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Le roman est très bien construit et on comprend pourquoi il a obtenu de nombreux prix car il dénote vraiment de la production de l'époque où la masculinité était prépondérante et les voix féminines très peu nombreuses. Alors certes, par moment, le texte, dont la traduction a pourtant été actualisée en 2023, et les idées qu'il véhicule, semble un peu daté. Mais cela reste un tout petit point négatif qui ne gêne que très peu la lecture. Merci aux éditions Le Bélial' d'avoir réédité ce roman court qui a marqué une génération. ( )
