Galatea
- By Philip Pullman -

"[Galatea is] a book which I remain fond of...Each time I go over [to the United States] and I’m signing the books which are currently in print, someone comes along with a second-hand copy of Galatea and asks me to sign that. ...I hope it’ll come back into print, because it is a book which I remain fond of. I don’t know how you’d classify it; but then classifying anything is terribly hard. I don’t know what’s fantasy and what isn’t fantasy. I suppose sort of magical realist - it’s a year or two too early for the magic realist thing, otherwise it’d have ridden that wave, but it didn’t."
-Philip Pullman, in an interview with T. Brown in August 2000.

Have you read Galatea? Do you have a copy of the book? If so, we would be very happy if you would share your great wisdom with us. We long to experience what The Stranger termed "a postmodern fable about the magical powers of sex, money, and simulation."
