#45 Chana Porter's: The Seep

Apologies for this month's episode being late. Unfortunately we have a sick kitty that we've been taking care of, but that didn't stop us from finishing Ronnie's April pick, which was The Seep, by Chana Porter. This novel follows the story of a trans woman named Trina who is going through a bit of a crisis after an alien species known as The Seep takes over Earth. The Seep in many ways makes things better. People are more empathetic, people no longer deal with illness, and people can do pretty much anything they can imagine. However, after Trina's wife leaves her to become a baby again, Trina is forced to reckon with a world she doesn't understand, and still, somehow find beauty in it.    Next month's book was chosen by Ian and is The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa. A dream-like Orwellian, science fiction novel influenced highly by Kafka!
