Everything about this book is ridiculous, including the science and the fiction. ( ) In einer nicht allzu fernen Zukunft ist die Erde ein düsterer Ort, heimgesucht von mörderischen Kriegen, zerstört von den Menschen selbst und gewaltigen Naturkatastrophen. Einigen wenigen ist es gelungen, sich auf eine Raumstation zu retten, um von hier aus die letzten Reserven der Erde zu Plündern. Herrscher dieser neuen, trostlosen Welt ist ein ebenso tyrannischer wie blutrünstiger Sektenführer. Doch eine Gruppe junger Rebellen lehnt sich auf gegen das eiserne Regime, angespornt von der charismatischen Mädchen-Kriegerin Joan, die über ganz eigene Kräfte verfügt und deren Geschichte das Schicksal zukünftiger Generationen bestimmen wird. (penguin.de) Lidia Yuknavitch is a brilliant, challenging writer. Her writing is dense, violent, brash, and often extremely confusing. There are parts of this book that I had to read multiple times, and I'm still not sure that I've understood a tenth of the content and context. She writes beautifully at times, and the text is chock-full of ideas, themes, allusions, and allegory. I find myself in awe. I often feel dumb, or maybe just numb. But somehow, I love it.

"In the near future, world wars have transformed the earth into a battleground. Fleeing the unending violence and the planet's now-radioactive surface, humans have regrouped to a mysterious platform known as CIEL, hovering over their erstwhile home. The changed world has turned evolution on its head: the surviving humans have become sexless, hairless, pale-white creatures floating in isolation, inscribing stories upon their skin. Out of the ranks of the endless wars rises Jean de Men, a charismatic and bloodthirsty cult leader who turns CIEL into a quasi-corporate police state. A group of rebels unite to dismantle his iron rule--galvanized by the heroic song of Joan, a child-warrior who possesses a mysterious force that lives within her and communes with the earth. When de Men and his armies turn Joan into a martyr, the consequences are astonishing. And no one--not the rebels, Jean de Men, or even Joan herself--can foresee the way her story and unique gift will forge the destiny of an entire world for generations" -- provided by publisher.
