This book is built of stories and provocations--like the birth of a pearl, it transforms that which irritates, layer by layer.Through speculative fiction and critical essays, Pear Nuallak explores what happens when messy, desiring bodies collide with the hard edge of power. The world's neat categories are unmade and rewritten, revealing that racial capitalism's myths are just as much fantasies as Thai bird princesses and transgender magic.Moving playfully across folktale, horror, satire and critique, Nuallak examines how different beings are formed politically, bodily and emotionally. We discover interdimensional fungi resisting colonisation, queer monsters living on Hampstead Heath, and a mysterious canal running through the ruins of capitalism into interstitial realms. We test the borders of queer diasporic nationalism and take apart the racially melancholic memoir. In this fiery yet delicate collection, we aren't bound by truth, but flow with it into new worlds.
