What a bizarre novella. This short book is a Lambda Literary Award winner for 2013. It's a post-apocalyptic coming of age tale about a gay boy who is changed into a plant-human. The prose is gorgeous, but the story is very surreal. It doesn't have much of a plot. It's mostly a reflection on mutation and growing up. There are environmental overtones to the story, but not it doesn't really hit you over the head with it. I liked the story a lot mostly because of its weirdness and its beautiful language.
