Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #5 - “breaking Dawn” (2020)

Some trans science fiction and fantasy books. You can find my earlier recs for f/f science fiction and fantasy here and my new recs for bi and pan books here. 

Also I somehow totally blanked on this while making the powerpoint, but Charlie Jane Anders’ stuff should be in the last slide. Her two books are CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT and ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY. I’ll link to some of her short stories below the cut.

The queer SFF database’s tag for trans books is here. There’s more than I included in the rec post, so go knock yourself out!

I included the author identities because I figured people would want to know if the book was own voices. Disclaimer that gender is a weird nebulous thing and life isn’t easy or straightforward, so depending on when you’re reading this post (I’m writing 8/2/19), some of the authors I listed as cis might have had gender realizations. I literally saw this on Twitter this morning with one of the “more trans SFF” books, so figured it was worth saying. 

Below the text cut you’ll find the titles and authors, links to my queer SFF database (which includes links to trans reviewers and content warnings), and some of my favorite SFF short stories by trans people.

Paintings by Eşref Armağan is a blind painter of Turkish origin. He was born blind to an impoverished family, he taught himself to write and print. He uses a braille stylus to etch the outline of his drawing, Armağan requires total silence to create art. Scientists who examined hum have confirmed he is congenitally blind, and were baffled by the ease with which he represents space.

Look it’s the secret stair!  Does it go along the bake house chimney and open into the garden?
