Love After the End is a new young adult anthology edited by Joshua Whitehead (Lambda Literary Award winner, Jonny Appleseed) featuring short stories by Indigenous authors with Two-Spirit & Queer heroes, in utopian and dystopian settings. This is a sequel to the popular anthology, Love Beyond Body Space and Time (2019 AILA Youth Honor Book), and features several of the same authors returning, along with new voices!
Third story is so sweet 🥹 While the plot line of traveling to a new planet paints a futuristic picture, the part that really touched me were the medical advances. This is transfuturism, a world imagined specifically for 2S transfemmes. MAH HART!
All I remember from the second story is mermaids and the last paragraph! Can anyone recommend some mermaid reads?
Starting off strong with rodent representation. They could have chosen any scurrying creature but went with a rat <3 I feel seen ^2
