Read as my singular contribution to the Trans Rights Readathon 2024 (I strive to do better next year!).  I strongly suggest reading about how this project came about before diving into this, but I do have a deep appreciation for the power of Solomon's prose and the way the novella tackles through fantasy elements the burdens of generational trauma, ancestry and remembrance. Super compelling, I will absolutely be seeking out more by River Solomon.
