A review by kaa
...and Other Disasters by Malka Ann Older

5.0

I wish this book were longer! Malka Older has a talent for envisioning broad sociopolitical and cultural systems without losing focus on how these systems impact individuals. I am in awe of the vision and compassion demonstrated in thses stories. I've been reading bits of this on and off over the course of the last couple weeks, but I feel fortunate that I still had a sizable chunk of it to devour this afternoon. There is something in her combination of expertise and realism-meets-optimism that I found very grounding in this particular moment in history.
