| "..the entire
vegetable kingdom has devolved from a single fabulous primordial plant, the urpflanze,
or ur-plant, a plant containing the characteristics of every possible future
plant.." The first Interzone story is a philosophical inquiry and expansion to Goethe's "Metamorphosis of Plants". It is set in an alternate reality, sometime in the future when Messiers Borges, Galtieri and Mengele are making strange botanic and metaphysic experiments. Written at the time of the Falkland War and the brief dictatorship of Leopoldo Galtieri. Classic Bayley. "Bayley's story stands out in this somewhat precious magazine like a cactus among balloons." - Bruce Sterling
