Passing for Human - Benaroya Chronicles, Bk 1 Author:Jody Scott Aliens trained in Western pop culture disguise themselves as well-known human female figures and embark on two intersecting tasks, setting the stage for a wild feminist romp that out stranges Stranger in a Strange Land: judging humankind's readiness to join the interstellar community, and searching for a ruthless criminal. — After seven hundr... more »ed years, Glamorous vampire Sterling O’Blivion has begun to think the joy is going out of life. Then she meets Virginia Woolf in the ladies’ room of a dance studio in Chicago. But Woolf is really Benaroya, a dolphin-like alien anthropologist here to learn all there is to know about humanity and to fight the good fight against the evil, slave-trading Sajorians. Sterling falls madly in love with Benaroya. It’s just the sort of romp an aging vampire needs--but first, to defeat the Sajorians, they have to sell millions of Famous Men’s Sperm Kits to every woman on Earth. This satire first published in 1977..its biting commentary should still register strongly in any decade. Introduction by Barry Maltzberg.
