A review by chromaticgiraffes
Scattered All Over the Earth by Yōko Tawada

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
I couldn't get into this book mainly because of the treatment of Akash, the one trans character. I got through one chapter of her being consistently misgendered and checked the reviews to see that it doesn't seem to get much better. It bothered me enough for one chapter that I know reading the rest of the book will be a complete slog if I have to keep pushing through blatant transphobia from all the other characters. Oh well!
