Trade Paperback – NESFA Press – Oct 2018 – 272 pages

Dreamweaver’s Dilemma is the Boskone 33 book (1996) by Guest of Honor Lois McMaster Bujold. It contains two novellas which have never been published before—the title story “Dreamweaver’s Dilemma” and “The Adventure of the Lady on the Embankment”—plus the first hardcover appearance of “Mountains of Mourning,” three of Lois’s previously uncollected short stories, and four essays.

The book also includes an interview with Lois McMaster Bujold, a timeline of the Vorkosigan stories, genealogical notes, and a pronunciation guide by the book’s editor, Suford Lewis.

The introduction is by noted writer — and Lois’s childhood friend — Lillian Stewart Carl.
