Even Greater Mistakes: Stories

By Charlie Jane Anders

Book Overview

The woman who can see all possible futures is dating the man who can see the only foreordained future. A wildly popular slapstick filmmaker is drawn, against his better judgment, into working with a fascist militia against a background of social collapse. Two friends must embark on an Epic Quest To Capture The Weapon That Threatens The Galaxy, or else they'll never achieve their dream of opening a restaurant. A trans woman is captured by an agency that brutally forces detransition by means of brain transplants--only to discover that the person overseeing her case is her childhood friend. And in the liminal space between the warring fragments of what was once the United States, a mysterious bookstore is the place where all the incompatible realities can touch.

Here are delightful upendings of genre clich s and heartfelt revitalizations of classic tropes. Here is social commentary with teeth, and here are scenes of pants-wettingly funny comedy. Here are characters and situations that by their very outrageousness achieve a heightened realism unlike any other. And here is one of the strongest voices in modern science fiction, the writer called by Andrew Sean Greer "this generation's Le Guin."
