Big Girl by Meg Elison

3.0

Sci-fi with an actual fat politic feels SO exciting and rare, but unfortunately the back half of this collection really suffers from the post 2016 US election trend of white women creatives feeling WAY over-inspired to make art about their own experiences with racism. “Such People In It”, which speculates on what would happen to the United States if trump won a second term, was like. Especially cringeworthy to get through.
