SynopsisRather than being a conventional narrative, "Selects" is presented as a literature student's dissertation. The student argues that several passages in newly-discovered Emily Dickinson poems (which, the student asserts, must be genuine poems because if they were not, then there would be no dissertation) indicate that Dickinson participated in repelling the 1897 Martian invasion depicted by H. G. Wells — and that since Dickinson died in 1886, the only way she could have written poems about the invasion was for her to have been a zombie. Reception"Selects" won the 1997 Hugo Award for Best Short Story.[2] A. M. Dellamonica has described it as "especially great";[3] however, The Wellsian (the official journal of the H. G. Wells Society) considers it to be "gibberish" which "wastes the reader's time."[4] "Selects" was omitted from the 2015 German translation of Best of Connie Willis, because "the publisher felt that the humor didn't translate well".[5] References1. ^The Soul Selects Her Own Society: Invasion and Repulsion: A Chronological Reinterpretation of Two of Emily Dickinson's Poems: A Wellsian Perspective at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database; retrieved December 10, 2016 {{Hugo Award Best Short Story 1981–2000}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Soul Selects Her Own Society, The}}2. ^1997 Hugo Awards, at TheHugoAwards.org; retrieved December 10, 2016 3. ^Where to Start with the Works of Connie Willis, by A.
