In the stories of
Exile in Guyville
, probable futures and alternate realities take aim at unruly women, and show how they refuse to be ruled.
With a speculative and surreal style, Amy Lee Lillard’s prize-winning collection explores a living museum of women from across time; a life app that forces women to comply with beauty standards; a future internment camp with a literal race for survival; and a band of middle-aged Riot Grrrls, taking vengeance with a new power.
With humor, rage, and a razor-sharp eye for detail,
renders the invisible as seen, and the powerless as empowered.
