Panpocalypse | Carley Moore

2 posts | 2 read

During the coronavirus pandemic, a queer disabled woman bikes through a locked-down NYC for the ex-girlfriend who broke her heart. Orpheus manages to buy a bicycle just before they sell out across the city. She takes to the streets looking for Eurydice, the first woman she fell in love with, who also broke her heart. The city is largely closed and on lockdown, devoid of touch, connection, and community. But Orpheus hears of a mysterious underground bar Le Monocle, fashioned after the lesbian club of the same name in 1930s Paris. Will Orpheus be able to find it? Will she ever be allowed to love again? Panpocalypse—first published as an online serial in spring of 2020—follows a lonely, disabled, poly hero in this novel about disease, decay, love, and revolution.

Probably should have DNFed this one. I didn't realize it was auto-fiction until I started reading it, which made my expectations and the actual book not match at all. Tbh, this felt mostly like reading someone's journal entries about being in NYC during early Covid. There are later bits with time travel, but by that point I was too bored to care. Too bad because I was very interested in reading about a bike riding pan poly disabled mom!

This book captures the isolation, anxiety, and depression that characterized lockdown living for so many people. Carley/Orpheus is a queer, poly, disabled woman living alone in NYC who finds an outlet for her need for escape in cycling around the city. The book lost me a little in part 3 when things got real weird but in general this was a great book that viscerally captures a particular moment in time.
