No, but I was in a hurry and I wasn't sure if she wrote only science fiction 
novels, so I put in the "and" to divide the two. Expedient but not very 
accurate.
     
     Most of Russ's work for the past decade--what little there is of 
     it--has been LitCrit with a decidedly (second-wave) feminist bent.  
     Most recent book was from Indiana University Press last year (maybe 
     late 1995).
     
     Very little, if any, fiction.
     
     It appears that Seattle, like Cancun, is not endemic to productivity. 
     
     (The latter I can understand; the former makes sense only if you 
     consider that its two major commodities are coffee and heroin. 
     Apparently, if you're not doing either of those, your best bet is to 
     buy an Operating System at Bargain Basement pricing and tell everyone 
     how many improvements you _are going to_ make.)
