In a iced, apocalyptic landscape, devastation abounds: great wall surfaces of glaciers overrun the globe and secretive governments vie for control. Against this surreal, yet eerily familiar shattered world, an unnamed narrator embarks over a hallucinatory search for a unusual and elusive "glass-girl" with metallic hair. He crosses icy seas and iced plains, searching ruined cities and ransacked rooms, all to free her from the grips of your tyrant known only as the warden and save her before the ice closes throughout. A novel unlike every other, Ice is at once a dystopian excitement shattering the conventions of science fiction, a prescient alert of environment change and totalitarianism, a feminist exploration of assault and injury, a Kafkaesque literary dreamscape, and a brilliant allegory because of its author's problems with addiction - all crystallized in prose glittering as the piling snow. Kavan's 1967 novel has built a reputation as a fantastic and ground breaking work of books, garnering acclaim from China Mieville, Patti Smith, J. G. Ballard, Anaïs Nin, and Doris Lessing, among others. With echoes of dystopian classics like Ursula Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven, Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, and J. G. Ballard's High Rise, Ice is a necessary and unforgettable addition to the canon of science fiction classics.
