Outer Limits Cecilia Tan transcends time, space, gravity, and cultural norms in her line of work: erotic science fiction. Under the imprint of Circlet Press, which she founded in 1992, the Cambridge, Mass.-based Tan has published her own and others' creative meldings of erotica and futuristic fantasy. Her writing has appeared in publications as disparate as Penthouse and Ms. Circlet anthologies span the spectrum of sexual proclivities, but the science fiction format permits a broader range of experimentation than conventional fiction might. Tan's being brought to town as part of a West Coast tour touting woman-centered erotica. Because her books tweak gender, Tan's guests are invited to dress in drag to come hear her speak at 8 p.m. at Good Vibrations, 1210 Valencia, S.F. Admission is free; call 974-8980.
