"A bold and breathtaking anthology of queer Indigenous speculative fiction, edited by the author of Jonny Appleseed. This exciting and groundbreaking fiction anthology showcases a number of new and emerging 2SQ (Two-Spirit and queer) Indigenous writers from across Turtle Island. These visionary authors show how queer Indigenous communities can bloom and thrive through utopian narratives that detail the vivacity and strength of 2SQness throughout its plight in the maw of settler colonialism's histories. Here, readers will discover bioengineered AI rats, transplanted trees in space, the rise of a 2SQ resistance camp, a primer on how to survive Indigiqueerly, virtual reality applications, mother ships at sea, and the very bending of space-time continuums queered through NDN time. Love after the End demonstrates the imaginatively queer Two-Spirit futurisms we have all been dreaming of since 1492. Contributors include Nathan Adler, Darcie Little Badger, Gabriel Castilloux Calderón, Adam Garnet Jones, Mari Kurisato, Kai Minosh Pyle, David Alexander Robertson, jaye simpson, and Nazbah Tom."-- Provided by publisher.

Beautiful Anthology submitted by Meginator on August 21, 2021, 11:20am This anthology of speculative fiction, written entirely by Two-Spirit/queer Indigenous authors, is remarkable for the ways that shared thematic elements appear and develop throughout the collection; this book greatly rewards reading in as few sittings as possible. Each story presents a unique vision of an apocalyptic or dystopian future, though each author finds a genuine spark of hope within these worlds, preventing the collection from becoming either unrealistically cheerful or unrelentingly depressing. Taken together, these tales consider the meaning(s) and importance of human connection from perspectives not often represented (and much less celebrated) in the broader literary landscape. This is an absolutely outstanding and vital collection that transcends genre; I recommend it to anyone who enjoys thinking deeply about what it means to love and be loved.
