"Some of the diagrams looked like young girls and others looked like giant insects. The text portions almost read like botanical entries, except that they included warnings and danger rankings. 'It's just a book,' she said to herself. 'I am not afraid of it...'" @kuzhalimanickavel.bsky.social

Of course, this was SUCH an awesome book. I really enjoy her writing in general, but I didn't expect this one to feel so personal. I always felt like so much about my school years was not really expressible in words and this book got exactly that feeling.

Sorry to reshare this again but my mother underwent another surgery last week and then we learned that chemo had decimated her red blood cells so she's in hospital again. I'm extremely sick myself, so if you can chip in anything or share, it will help us both to stay alive. 😭🧿🫶 #mutualaid

This is now one of my favourite Indian 'genre' novels (or novels, period) of the 21st century, tbh, and like the best ones, treats the boundaries of 'genre' as borders to be breached, explored, language a lantern in the wilderness. Essential for all readers of 'weird' fiction.

one thing about transphobia, it forces you to say the weirdest things. like, 'the father ted guy is a terf' or 'i had no idea the proclaimers were transphobic.' like what odd things to have to say in life

way back in 1998 when the lgbtq+ movie ‘fire’ was released, this extremely conservative girl who we will call gary decided to throw caution to the wind and go see it. she was in her final year and thought she should do something daring before graduating.🧵

★ Kuzhali Manickavel delivers this wonderfully strange work of magical realism that toggles between a quietly profound queer coming-of-age tale and entries from the fictional compendium for which the book is named. Readers will find this irresistible. @angryrobotbooks buff.ly/Xh1CtnZ
