Rosen, Lev A C
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(circa 1980- ) US author of All Men of Genius (2011), a Steampunk tale set in an Alternate History shaped so that the worlds imagined in William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (performed 1599-1600) and The Importance of Being Earnest (first performed 14 February 1895; 1898) by Oscar Wilde might Equipoisally co-inhabit in Victorian London and elsewhere, along with Automata and other paraphernalia characteristic of this category of tale. Gender issues are tactfully addressed through the Viola/Cesario doubling on the part of the heroine, whose Inventions are also wittily described, and give off steam. The Young Adult Roundabout (2015) is built on an interplay between a family managing grief in the small town of Woundabout, and a steampunkish Underground artefact which the mayor uses to prevent change.
