My friend asked me what I was reading and I said "this cool Indigenous sci-fi from the 90s". She said, "my friend loves stuff like that! I'll recommend it to her!" I said "NOOOOO OKAY STOP BEFORE YOU DO THAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT THERE IS LIKE, A LOT OF BESTIALITY IN THIS BOOK." And she was like "meh... she won't mind." Gives me a laugh whenever I think about it.
People talk about books being one-of-a-kind, unique, different, etc. Here's a book that genuinely deserves those descriptors. Terse, muscular, compact prose (like corned beef). A violent and vibrant not-so-distant future. This is like if Parable of the Sower was unhinged and unselfconscious. (Much more to my preference.)
