Uranians: stories
(Book)
Description
"The five speculative stories in Theodore McCombs's kaleidoscopic collection span several possible worlds, teasing the boundaries between coexisting realities and taking up the question of queer difference from one surprising vantage after another. In "Toward a Theory of Alternative Lifestyles," a heartbroken gay man waits in line at an exclusive Berlin rave promising visions of parallel lives across the multiverse. In "Six Hangings in the Land of Unkillable Women," at the turn of an alternate 20th century, a policeman's wife feels that if you want an execution done right, you just have to do it yourself. And in the operatic novella "Uranians," an expedition of queer artists, scientists, and one trans priest embark on a lifelong interplanetary voyage thatrequires them to renegotiate their connections to a remote and hostile Earth, while keeping their ship's biome-and each other-alive"--
