"Save me Becky Chambers sci-fi, heal me Becky Chambers sci-fi.
Monk & Robot is delightful, but war is over when Chambers goes to space. MY GOD, I think Chambers is the only writer alive who understands the most interesting thing you can do with aliens " Read more of this review » |

| The failed lives that haunt these pages--endless variations of failed lives, disappointments, self-effacements, self-inflicted obscurity and erasure--it speaks to me deeply. At every turn throughout the apartment I meet someone else to commiserate wi ...more | |
