But those terms are wholly inadequate for Meg Elison's clear-eyed satire in the guise of fantasy and science fiction. Powered by rage, incandescent with a deep understanding of injustice, angry for all the right reasons, yet still essentially optimistic, these are the stories I need to keep me warm through the long dark night.

She is an iconoclast, using a caustic new talent to spotlight hitherto off-limits subjects like gender roles, body shaming, female oppression, and political correctness. A high school dropout, Meg Elison bluffed her way into California community colleges and eventually graduated from UC Berkeley. She has written and spoken extensively on the poverty and early queer identity that came to inform much of her work. Her debut novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of the Unnamed Midwife\u003c\/i\u003e, won the 2014 Philip K. Dick Award. She is a co-producer of the monthly reading series Cliterary Salon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PM Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42683807039725,"sku":"9781629637839","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ae9e6339-9be7-4f6c-b632-fd22341cfd92.jpg?v=1649747869","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/big-girl-9781629637839","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
