I understand your point and I agree re: the pronouns. Great review though, I only wish the author stopped calling GFM 'she', such book could never have been written by a woman. Brite and Clive Barker should give this, well, ballsy postapocalyptic tale a shot. The strength advantage is important, but so is the fundamental difference in the cost of sex. Still, this swings for the fences admirably. The plot, however, doesn’t quite coalesce, with much of the narrative feeling like a series of vignettes lashed together, and it can be frustrating to process all the small-scale emotional beats without the clear vision of where the story might be heading. Felker-Martin’s horror chops are top-notch, with gut-churning prose zoomed in on the strangeness of human bodies and on the characters’ squeamish relationships with the physical realm, and her exploration of mental illness, trauma, and dysphoria excellently complement the grimy atmosphere. The two meet up with Robbie, a gunslinging trans man bearing his own trauma, and together the three seek safety, facing waves of feral men, heavily armed TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) hell-bent on bringing about the extinction of trans women, and the labyrinthine dynamics of their own relationships as they process their brutal histories. Felker-Martin’s daring debut imagines a world in which a plague turns men into violent cannibals and those left alive must do whatever they can do survive, including-in the case of trans women like Beth and Fran-harvesting men’s genitals to keep the disease at bay themselves. Manhunt is beautiful, raw, and cruel, finally a speculative fiction novel that treats chromosome-based biological catastrophe in a way thats actually.

Amber smith the way i used to be5/26/2023 Agent: Jessica Regel, Foundry Literary + Media. The long-term view Smith takes of Eden’s story makes it all the more satisfying when she does find her voice. It’s painful to watch Eden disintegrate but also true to the double burden she carries-the violation of the rape and the weight of carrying the secret. Smith tracks Eden through her four years in high school, spotlighting her shifting relationship with her friend Mara, the caring boyfriend she lies to, and her increasing acting out with booze and sex. While Eden changes virtually overnight, no one knows what happened-largely, it seems, because no one wants to.

Jerome makes two other claims about Lucretius's life, both of which have plagued scholars: first, that after he had been driven to madness by a love potion, he worked at his poem during his lucid intervals until he finally committed suicide and second-less luridly but still intriguingly-that Cicero later "corrected" or revised the poem after Lucretius's death. Jerome in the fourth century A.D., placing Lucretius's birth in 94/93 B.C. The dates assigned to his birth and death are based primarily on a brief notice in a chronicle compiled by St. Of the life of Titus Lucretius Carus scholars know less, perhaps, than in the case of any other Roman poet. "When a single day brings the world to destruction, only then will the poetry of the sublime Lucretius pass away." This judgment by the Roman poet Ovid, written in the generation after Lucretius's death, has been echoed by such writers as Voltaire and George Santayana the author of De rerum natura (On the Nature of Things) holds a place in world literature as one of the great philosopher-poets.
