An Unkindness of Ghosts

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

This month, host Lisa is joined by David Sloane, Denise McIver, and Aubrey Hicks to discuss An Unkindness of Ghosts, the science fiction novel about a young neuroatypical woman on a generation ship in search of the "promised land" looking for evidence her mother had discovered something important about the ship and its journey.

We talk about slave allegories, generation ships, spatial hierarchies, gender, autism ... so much to talk about with this debut novel from Solomon.

Warnings: spoilers & triggers, and we apologize for any misgendering speakers may have done on this podcast.
