4.5

An excellent (trans!!!!) novel with fresh and exciting meta-textual play both with the story itself and the nature of narrative as a whole. The discussions of history, archives, and queerness are well informed and engaging, and I loved the tension between the editor’s excitement and the capitalist agenda that took place in the metatext. It dragged a bit in parts, but overall a great read. I particularly recommend it to fellow transmasc people, anyone with an interest in historical archives and/or queer theory, and those who enjoy the academic tone of works like Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.
