The child as mother, the mother as monster, the monster as hero: this shape-shifting story of nourishment, nurture, and parturition is a rare feminist work of speculative fiction and received the prestigious Seiun (Nebula) Award in 1991. Mariko Ōhara's Hybrid Child is the first English translation of a major work of science fiction by a female Japanese author.
