This is the discussion post for July's #QueerBC author Nino Cipri
Several people read Finna, did anyone read anything else?
I didn't read this author hence the generic questions 😅

Butterfinger I did read Finna and loved it so much. The two characters were fighting, fussing, accusing, but not listening to each other. That was so realistic, but then you have furniture that will eat you. I thought the LGBTQ+ representation was fair. The author showed discrimination from the boss (again very realistic) who refused to use preferred pronouns. People are so hateful. 2h

peanutnine I read Homesick. It's a book of short stories so a bit all across the board. But they were speculative fiction plots with an overarching theme of finding home and belonging. There were a few I really loved and some that had me thoughtful. The LGBTQ+ rep was diverse, with many sexualities and identities explored including a bi-gender character. I would recommend the author to those who like weird fiction and thinking outside the box/norm 2h
peanutnine @Butterfinger Finna is so fun, I do love a world that's like ours but has an outrageous difference that is treated normally and casually in the story. 2h
willaful @peanutnine I also read Homesick, since I'd already read Finna and Defekt. I found the psychological horror stories somewhat beyond my understanding, but I enjoyed reading just about everything. And the collection includes “The Shape of My Name,“ which is such a lovely story. I think Cipri is doing very interesting work with SF and trans identities in particular. 1h
