Genre: Literary Fiction, Science Fiction/Fantasy What they have in common are their feelings of elation, pride, confidence, freedom and ecstasy as a direct result of coming out as non-cisgender, and how coming to terms with their gender has brought unimaginable joy into their lives. In this groundbreaking anthology, nineteen trans, non-binary, agender, gender-fluid and intersex writers share their experiences of gender euphoria: an agender dominatrix being called ‘Daddy’, an Arab trans man getting his first tattoos, a trans woman embracing her inner fighter.

She completed her master's degree in computer science, but continued to write fan fiction on the side.Īlmost a decade after she first went online, she says she was working as a programmer for a computer game "and something about that whole process of building the structure of that game turned into a real kind of light-bulb moment for me as a writer." At the time, her fan fiction at was inspired by swashbuckling adventure novels set in the Napoleonic era. Engaging with fan communities online got her interested in two things: coding and fan fiction. It was the early days of the Internet, and Novik found her way to a discussion list for Trekkers. "I ended up rooming in a dorm that was basically a solid wall of female scientists, and every Wednesday we would all watch Star Trek: The Next Generation." Novik's career as a writer and programmer started in the same place - her sophomore college dorm. "I'm an engineer and a writer," she says, "and I find that those two things are not uncomplimentary."

The Nightingale and the Rose at Theatre Works is the second in a projected trilogy of Wilde adaptations by Little Ones Theatre. The Nightingale and the Rose, a short, elegant fable about the price of art and love (for Wilde, these were often synonyms) is a case in point. His short story collections, The Happy Prince and Other Stories and The House of Pomegranates, demonstrate his poise: he reins in an extravagance of metaphor and feeling with a dark wit and a dose of bitter realism. (The exception, of course, is The Ballad of Reading Gaol, with its notably starker diction.)Įven in his prose Wilde’s is a dangerous poetry, seductively theatrical in its rhythms, unafraid of risking the edge of self-parody. Add the intricate prosody Wilde favoured in his poems and you’re in danger of suffocating to death. They glow deeply in his plays and prose: I suspect because the plainer rhythms prevent his diction, always trembling along the verge of arch, from tipping over into jingly kitsch. Oscar Wilde is one of those writers whose poetic gifts seldom shone to advantage in his poetry. 2.5K Alison Croggon reviews Little Ones Theatre’s The Nightingale and the Rose |
