Big Girl by Meg Elison

Description

“Elison offers a troubling yet hopeful vision of the future.”
—Los Angeles Review of Books

“A strikingly powerful story of one woman’s physical and emotional resourcefulness under the most dire of circumstances. An apocalyptic page-turner that picks up where Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale left off.”
—Jackie Hatton, Tor.com

“I could talk about female empowerment, body positivity, and gender flexibility. But those terms are wholly inadequate for Meg Elison’s clear-eyed satire in the guise of fantasy and science fiction. Powered by rage, incandescent with a deep understanding of injustice, angry for all the right reasons, yet still essentially optimistic, these are the stories I need to keep me warm through the long dark night. Compelling and fierce and unstoppable.”
—Pat Murphy, World Fantasy Award winner

“Meg Elison’s stories will raise blisters on your conscience. Her politics are smart, her prose is like a razor, and her characters will break your heart. Read at your own risk.”
—Annalee Newitz, author of Autonomous

“Meg Elison’s work is visceral and compelling. A voice that doesn’t so much demand attention as it 100 percent deserves every ounce of it.”
—Elsa Sjunneson-Henry, Hugo-winning writer and editor
