I got this one as a lender with the premise of, "ooooo you'll love the historic Quebec City trans convent story" and they were right, I did. It is a fun collection, taking fantasy and flights of fancy to make transitions beautiful and grotesque, bleeding a bit of body horror at times with resolving dysmorphia and imagining worlds where gender is less static and so are the limits of our flesh to change.
Most memorable stories include the convent story, the self-titled story and one which features someone transitioning into a rock face then a mountain.
it is riddled with Canadiana and references that you might pick out from your travels. a worthwhile read I am happy i had it out and picked it up and put it down over the past few months
