| the half-drowned is a vision of a future at the end of the world where what survives is the shapeshifting love of family both given and chosen. Drawing on the Afro-diasporic ancestral knowledge of water and the urgency of desire, Delaney builds a glittering, speculative world where community holds through grief, where we must choose to fend for ourselves while also caring for others. the half-drowned is a genre-bending novella that crafts a polyphony of voices to speak to and through our lives and dreams in order to reach for the unspoken and unsayable and make it heard. Praise â A forceful, surreal, and poetically muscular read about a resiliently catastrophic future. So so good. What a style and voice. â â Jeff VanderMeer, author of AREA X (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) â Told with searing insight and compassion, Trynne Delaney offers up a feast in the half-drowned. With swiftness, precision, and extraordinary prose Delaney gifts us an astonishing spec-fic tale of ancestors, lineage, aliens, blood, and memory. â â Francesca Ekwuyasi, author of Butter Honey Pig Bread (Arsenal Pulp Press) |
