"A chronicle of hope
and hurt and freedom, suffused with anxiety and grace, and told in prose
that just won’t quit. It’s major. You’ll remember where you were when
you read it.” — Isaac Fellman, author of Dead Collections
In this playful and aching short novel, an unnamed trans woman is on an epic journey to find the place where she belongs. As she navigates her many realities, she must wrestle with anxieties and fears about the world. Her son and her ex live in another state. Environmental disasters are being outsourced to the Midwest. She can’t decide whether or not to unbox the companion automaton under her bed. And some of her friends may not just be ghosting her, they might not even be real.
OKPsyche is a fever-pitched odyssey through the joys, fears, and weirdness of trans adulthood, parenthood, and selfhood in the contemporary world.
Genre: Literary Fiction
