If you're the sort of person who hangs on to every morsel of palace drama between Princes Harry and William, if you binge-watched every episode of The Crown twice, if your copy of Burke's Peerage is dog-eared from overuse, then Jo Harkin's sophomore novel, The Pretender (Knopf, $30, 9780593803301), should be right up your alley.

I’m not the most maternal of women, however matronly my body appears. And my body appeared ready at eleven, twelve, thirteen. It wasn’t just boys who came with their hands and their mouths and their need. But almost-men. Who tried to put babies in me.

With those opening lines, Marisa Crane launches us right into a parallel (or future?) America where crime is punished not with jail time but with the attachment of a second (or third or fourth) shadow, and the accompanying social and economic disadvantages that stem from “Shadester” status.

By Kobo • October 10, 2023Recommended Reading Let these dystopian visions of the future alter how you see the world around you. A lot has changed since the publication of 1984 in 1949, but one thing remains the same: we are still fascinated by dystopian stories.

Picture a family. What do you immediately imagine—two parents and their children? Your answer likely depends on the kind of household you grew up in, or on the kinds you’ve known. What role might aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents play? What about neighbors, friends, and lovers? The American focus on the nuclear unit is far from universal—many cultures define family more broadly—and it is a limiting paradigm.

BAT: Are there any flavors to your own feelings about parenting that are particular to being a non-binary parent? MC: It’s something I’m…I don’t know, dealing with in a new way. My gender feels less my own and more about me in relation to others, including a small person I love very much. Now, it’s like, “oh wow more relational words I have to think about.” I don’t like being called mom or mother, so we came up with Mozzy as my parent name.
