These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart
These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart | Izzy Wasserstein
1 post | 1 read
Publishers Weekly Spring 2024 Top-10 SF Fantasy & Horror In a queer, noir technothriller of fractured identity and corporate intrigue, a trans woman faces her fear of losing her community as her past chases after her. This bold, thought-provoking debut science-fiction novella from a Lambda Award finalist is an exciting and unpredictable look at the fluid nature of our former and present selves. "With a complex and enjoyably flawed trans protagonist and a portrayal of queer life that goes deeper than casual representation, this marks Wasserstein as a voice to watch out for in LGBTQ science fiction."--Publishers Weekly Security expert Dora left her anarchist commune over safety concerns. But when her ex-girlfriend Kay is killed, everyone at the commune is suddenly a potential suspect. In the remains of Kansas City, which the government has all but abandoned, Dora knows there will be no justice unless she solves the murder herself. But Kay's death is only one of several shocking incidents. A strange new drug is circulating, people are disappearing, and a war between two nefarious corporations is looming. As Dora untangles a terrible conspiracy, she must also come face-to-face with assailants from her pre-transition past.

Really loved this one. Cool technonoir, and equity based communes (on of the main settings)are always interesting to me. All I'd want is more. The action rolls well, but I just want to know about the communities it touches on. There feels like a few gaps otherwise, but still, loved.
