Helpful Score: 2
Russ's non-linear style gets in the way of, rather than enhances, this time-travel fantasy/morality tale. Her observations on gender roles, societal mores, and sexuality are blurred and blunted as the reader spends too much time trying to figure out who "I" is, that identity shifting and flowing from one narrator to another, often within the same paragraph. This may have been cutting-edge hot stuff in 1975; now it seems curiously dated and affected.
