baronessekat | 2020 Popsugar Reading Challenge: A book by a trans or non-binary author

The Trans Space Octopus Congregation: Stories by Bogi Takács

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I totally picked up this book because of the title... that and it would fulfill a category in a reading challenge. I really wish I could say I liked it. I didn't hate it, but I certainly did not like it.

This is a collection of short stories by the author. They seem to have a central theme of gender, body shape and form and a look at power exchange relationships. None of that bothered me. What did was that it felt like every single story just ended. Not even a soft conclusion. Just stop.

I can't say I'd recommend this book but I would not dissuade someone if they wanted to read it. And honestly... it's got a cool title.
