Now I am one of the like three people who watched and loved the tv series of Y the Last Man, I don't think this premise has to necessarily be transphobic (but often is, as is the case with the comic, Y the Last Man). I first heard about the book from the author's twitter getting publicly dragged because the premise is transphobic. I received an eArc of this book in exchange for an honest review, so yes I did read this book and you better believe these are my honest opinions. Is this just a hoax, or could it hold the key to the Disappearance?įrom the author of The Heavens, The Men is a gripping, beautiful, and disquieting novel of feminist utopias and impossible sacrifices that interrogates the dream of a perfect society and the conflict between individual desire and the good of the community. Meanwhile, strange video footage called “The Men” is being broadcast online showing images of the vanished men marching through barren, otherworldly landscapes. As people come together to rebuild depopulated industries and distribute scarce resources, Jane focuses on reuniting with an old college girlfriend, Evangelyne Moreau, leader of the Commensalist Party of America, a rising political force in this new world. No one knows why, how, or where.Īfter the Disappearance, Jane forces herself to enter a world she barely recognizes, one where women must create new ways of living while coping with devastating grief. Children, adults, even fetuses are gone in an instant. At that moment, every single person with a Y chromosome vanishes around the world, disappearing from operating theaters mid-surgery, from behind the wheels of cars, from arguments and acts of love. As dusk sets in, she drifts softly to sleep in a hammock strung outside the tent where Leo and Benjamin are preparing for bed. From the author of The Heavens, a dazzling, mind-bending novel in which all men mysteriously disappear from the face of the earthĭeep in the California woods on an evening in late August, Jane Pearson is camping with her husband Leo and their five-year-old son Benjamin.
