Janet Chant's unearthing of a radical queer feminist guerilla group's history within the universe, and feminist retellings of fairytales. Excellent stuff, it will have you grinning ear to ear and a little ready to go do some rabblerousing yourself once you're through.

It's aching, short, and sharp, about personal histories and the complicated meanings of freedom and self-identity, both won and given. For all that sounds bleak, it's actually a beautiful, hopeful story. Astonishing.

Gorgeous and surprising little story about the end of the world. Love how the author wraps the characters and themes from the Ziggy album into this while still telling a story of an ordinary life.
