Transitional Times Transitional Body

by M. Téllez

Tales from the crossroads of desire, hope, and despair. A sci-fi survivor memoir that has no princes, cops, or chosen people, that does not promote the colony or romanticize the empire. The short stories in this freshly expanded collection make apt companions for travelers, underworlders, heartbroken hope seekers, and of course fellow cyborgs.

Once a zine, now a book with 6 stories:
• Heat Death of Western Human Arrogance
• About A Woman and A Kid
• Adolescence
• The Romance of the Colony
• Monk's Dream
• Real Work You Deserve

This is my most recent collection of short stories and so I think you should read them and tell me what YOU think.

M. Tellez's writing always feels so steady and intentional to me -- the way they're able to describe the lush physicality of body sensations or places, and also how they can single out certain parts of our present that could one day bloom into the worlds inside these stories. 'Transitional Times Transitional Body' is absolutely fitting as a title -- these are stories that talk about destruction and recreation and all the mess/pain/love in between, and which are pointing at how our own world is changing, even if they happen to be talking about Mars or lost cities. A really beautiful collection that's deeply satisfying to read :) I also can't wait to read more from the All That's Left universe!!
