Sinisalo, Johanna

The plot points on reproduction will inevitably bring Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale to mind, but the narrator's funny, sad, punk voice could fit right in to the stories in Kelly Link's Get in Trouble and is as unforgettable.

At the intersection of science and fiction, award-winning Finnish author Sinisalo (Not Before Sundown; Troll) digs deep into a character who's searching for answers about his child, his life, and what may come after. Stunning prose takes the reader down a twisting path between gritty ecoterrorism and another world, with winged messengers leading the way.
