Being completely beside myself

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was nominated for a Nebula award, but there was nothing science fictional or fantastic about it. And yet...and yet...

This novel is about families, and what makes a family, and what family members owe to one another. It's about what makes someone human, and inhuman, and inhumane. About seeking. About kindness.

It's one of the best books about meeting aliens I've ever read. I'm not surprised it was nominated for the Nebula.
