In it Isabel Waidner concocts a world replete with bullfighters high fashion DIY theater the Beach Boys and time - traveling spaceships. The acclaimed winner of the 2021 Goldsmiths Prize for fiction that breaks the mold and extends the possibilities of the form this novel explores the phantasmagoric nature of contemporary life especially for nonbinary migrants and daringly revises how solidarity and justice might be sought and won.
