"Absolute Uncertainty" collects seven stories¿three of them new¿by Lucy Sussex, as well as an interview conducted by Maureen Kincaid Speller. In these stories, a fashionista becomes obsessed with the uncanny resemblance of the dazzling, eccentric ¿Lady Sanspareille¿ to the seventeenth-century Duchess of Newcastle; a young man loses his virginity in more than one sense of the word; an older writer shares her insight with Philip K. Dick, who really needs it; in Biocultural Studies 101, a class examines moral ambiguities and the limits of biography in the case of Werner Heisenberg, ¿a real slippery customer,¿ via a high-tech ¿interactive template.¿
