{"product_id":"9781487011130","title":"Valid: Dystopian Autofiction","description":"A genre-bending speculative look at a dark future, Valid shares the story of one trans woman leading a revolution. This is a mutiny. If our mutiny is to succeed, I must name things well, without diversion. Lacking this, you will not deviate from your certainties. Here it is: I am trans. As in transgression. I have broken genres. I have removed myself from the rules. I am trans. As in translation. I have dragged the elements that make up my person from one state to another. My geometry is variable. And tonight, I am a revolution. \/warning: code red... fetch-query protocol enabled... transmission failed... standby\/ Set in a disturbingly transfigured Montreal in the year 2050, Valid is a monologue delivered over the span of eight hours by Christelle, a seventy-year-old trans woman forced to live as a man in order to survive. Speaking to her captor, an ever-more powerful AI, she turns the tables and mounts her own revolution by showing her truest self. Part autofiction, part dystopic speculation on an all-too-possible future characterized by corporate power, ecological collapse, and political havoc, Valid is an ambitious work that is as much philosophical as it is confessional.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eChris Bergeron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eArachnide Editions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eNov 07, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e248 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e148701113X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781487011130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Arachnide Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50156110020913,"sku":"9781487011130","price":18.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781487011130.jpg?v=1729008826","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781487011130","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
