Released the same week that Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for citizens to report the families of transgender children and Vladimir Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine - and just two months after Parul Sehgal made “The Case Against the Trauma Plot” in The New Yorker - Felker-Martin’s horror novel cunningly weaves trans determinism, war, and trauma together in an effort to locate joy, empathy, and pleasure in a world on fire.įelker-Martin is a fierce defender of transgressive fiction against the brand of puritan neoliberalism that seeks to limit the genre by leveraging the language of harm, autonomy, and consent. FEW NOVELS ARRIVE so perfectly in tandem with their moment of release, but Manhunt, the debut novel from Gretchen Felker-Martin, is not like other novels.
