    June 2023 pick. A fun (and also tragic) read, though the intersex representation turned out to be rather implicit. Review here: intersexbookclub.tumblr.com/post/721866768811966464/intersex-book-club-reviews-the-fortunate-fall

    interlibraryprone says:

    Aug 2023 pick. A sci-fi classic for good reason, and thick with intersex themes that seem under-appreciated by the queer sci/fi community. Our review/analysis: intersexbookclub.tumblr.com/post/723405720254627840/august-book-pick-the-left-hand-of-darkness

    Dec 2023 pick. High quality intersex (AIS) representation by a perisex author. A fun novella that could have done better on the anti-bullying messaging. Review: intersexbookclub.tumblr.com/post/742727127848402944/2023-12-22-across-the-green-grass-fields

    interlibraryprone says:

    Feb 2024 pick. Only time we've spent the whole book club session gushing about the book. Two thumbs up. Review: www.tumblr.com/intersexbookclub/735638456517214208/february-pick-power-to-yield-and-other-stories?source=share

  8. interlibraryprone says:

    The first half was our pick for January 2024, then the second half we read for March 2024. Incredibly insightful but also harrowing in a way that cannot be avoided in providing a history of colonialism and intersexism. (Review is pending.)

  9. interlibraryprone says:

    Our April 2024 pick. Had some good stories but was not as good as Takács' latest short story collection (Power to Yield).
