![]() ![]() ![]() Soon after arriving, she is approached by the godlings (children of the Gods) and Nahadoth, the Nightlord. Yeine is not expected to survive the succession ceremony by anyone. He names Yeine heir, alongside her cousins Relad and Scimina. Long version: Yeine is summoned to Sky by her grandfather, the head of the Arameri family and ruler of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms in action if not name. Summary: Short version: Yeine restores balance to the Gods when she reincarnates as Enefa Setting: mostly in the city of Sky in a medieval technology world Length: 398 pages of story, 412 pages total I decided it was time to read more of her long works, just in time for her new book to come out.

This is the first book in Jemisin’s first series, the Inheritance trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is, if you like, punk rock.Īnd Binnie knows punk rock. And, in sixty brief chapters, it strenuously resists the stance my friends call “Trans 101”: it will not, as Binnie says in a new afterword, seek “validation from cis people.” The novel is defiant, terse, not quite cynical, sometimes flip (where Feinberg is bluntly earnest), addressed to people who think they know. In particular, it’s about the groups we create in the age of the Internet, encouraging one another in our new freedoms and in our self-destructive fallacies. ![]() Published in 2013 by the trans-focussed (and now defunct) Topside Press, and just reissued by the mainstream trade publisher Farrar, Straus & Giroux, “Nevada” is hardly the first novel about trans characters, or the first by a trans author for the queer community-Leslie Feinberg got there in 1993, with “ Stone Butch Blues.” Still, “Nevada” seemed to be the first book-length realist novel about trans women, in American English, with an ISBN on it, that was not only written by one of us but written for us. Imogen Binnie’s “ Nevada” might be, in that extended, contentious sense, the first t4t novel. These days, it’s not only an erotic preference but a statement about solidarity, about membership. If you spend time around transgender people, you may notice, on badges and buttons, on sewn patches, or even as a tattoo, the sigil “T4T,” or “t4t.” The characters stand for “trans for trans,” and the usage began as shorthand on dating sites. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet the desire to restrict speech, too, is a constant, and he explores how even its champions can be led down this path when the rise of new and contrarian voices challenge power and privilege of all stripes. Wells and modern-day digital activists-Mchangama reveals how the free exchange of ideas underlies all intellectual achievement and has enabled the advancement of both freedom and equality worldwide. ![]() Through captivating stories of free speech’s many defenders-from the ancient Athenian orator Demosthenes and the ninth-century freethinker al-Rāzī, to the anti-lynching crusader Ida B. In Free Speech, Jacob Mchangama traces the riveting legal, political, and cultural history of this idea. Today, in democracies and authoritarian states around the world, it is on the retreat. But it is a challenging principle, subject to erosion in times of upheaval. Hailed as the “first freedom,” free speech is the bedrock of democracy.
