Aw man this was so so so sweet. 

So much has been written about how this book talks about queerness as it relates to pregnancy and motherhood but I'm also fascinated by how Peters connects queer time to the process of remembering and misremembering. There's so much flipping back and forth through time (all of it centered around conception, almost like a pregnancy guide book lol) and it demonstrates how the past messily (mis)informs the present which does the same to the future. For all of us, queer people especially, time and community can be so ephemeral, so there's a simultaneous sense of urgency and resignation for the future. This book captures this excellently!

Like Don Delillo, I want Torrey Peters to write a tv show.
