Story
Haunted by the loss of her cousin, Delilah has curated a world of revenge—playing judge, jury and executioner while, you know, searching for love. Maybe murdering gives her the control she craves. Maybe it fills the gaping hole that Cedar left when she disappeared. Maybe this rage is ancestral, dating back to all of the Indigenous women before her whose cases were closed without much of a search.

Greta has a long history with Gin’s first husband, Eddie, and is determined to protect his 18-year-old twins. Piper discovered the bodies. Daniel is missing—and so is Adam’s gun.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The anonymous voices of queer native men converge amid violent eroticism. A man just out of prison balances the uneasy weight of family and freedom, while a professor returns home to conduct research only to be haunted by a dark specter. The stories and voices in Billy-Ray Belcourt’s debut story collection are buoyed by philosophical undergirding, poetic demand, and the complex relationship between aesthetics and ethics.

When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

But Sylvia’s presence sparks fury among her neighbors and throws Mel into conflict with her mother and best friend. Decades later, in 2019, Max (formerly Mel) is on probation from his teaching job for, ironically, defying speech codes around trans identity.

Excited about the concept, disappointed in the execution
As a feminist, I was looking forward to this listen and even pre-ordered it. I couldn't finish and ended up returning it because of the author's insistence on using the term "cis het". The wedging in of gender ideology completely negates the subject matter; ALL KINDS OF MALE PEOPLE commit murders and rapes, it's not somehow limited to straight men, athletic men, or men who prefer trousers. Even in a speculative fiction novel, viruses don't infect based on personal feelings. A virus can't tell if a man likes dresses or not. Male human beings do not change into female ones just because they have sex with other men or put on makeup. That's what makes them so dangerous; it's impossible to tell which ones are good.
Aside from that, the book was slow and heavy; I tried listening to it sped up and still couldn't get into it.

Somewhat sexist, and racist
Being a cis white male, the premise of the story came off as somewhat sexist, and racist. I can appreciate that this story gives a voice to victims of sexual assault, and is thought provoking of the dysfunctional way some men and women interact. But the story felt judgmental of my demographic.
