Invasions by Calvin Gimpelevich

5.0

Solid collection of stories centering trans and queer characters representing a range of genders and orientations, some poly content, great class analysis throughout. Not as speculative as I expected having previously read "Rent, Don't Sell" in Meanwhile, Elsewhire -- that one's a terrific story exploring disability, transness, body swapping, sex work, and more, but there's a range of modes collected here. Sturdy, crisp writing. "Wolves," from the pov of a caterer sent to staff a wedding in a remote place during a blizzard, is particularly gripping--had me shivering on a 92-degree day. Not exaggerating. I'll be excited to read what Gimpelevich puts out next.
