What are some of the ways in which having more than two children would be a burden in this society? Why do some families decide to have illegal shadow children in spite of this added strain? Do you think that the benefits of having another child outweigh the sacrifices that must be made?.How can they sort through the conflicting information about shadow children and find out where they belong? And will they be able to find the courage to defy the government and stop hiding? But these are children who have been forced to hide their entire lives, and who are only allowed to venture out with fake IDs in their hands and fear in their hearts. Yet hundreds of these illegal shadow children exist, and they want desperately to find a place for themselves in society. The government claims that there isn't enough food for everyone in the world, and so they have made it illegal for any family to have more than two children. Sometimes in this world it's hard to know who is telling the truth, who isn't, and what can be done about all the things that are wrong.

Agent: Sarah Bolling, The Gernert Company. Readers will delight in the eerie disquietude and optimism of this well-calibrated what-if. Porter employs profound compassion and gentle humor to convey Trina’s fear of change and distrust of complacency. Trina shakes her subsequent alcoholic depression just long enough to take on a “vengeful quest” to confront a former friend whom she fought with years before over identity politics, and to save a lost boy from the effects of the Seep. When Trina Goldberg-Oneka’s wife Deeba decides to reexperience her life from babyhood, Trina, a 50-year-old trans woman who remains suspicious of the changes wrought by the Seep, refuses to transition from the role of wife to mother, ending their relationship. The Seep, a well-meaning, symbiotic alien entity, causes hierarchies to breakdown, enhances technology beyond humankind’s wildest dreams, and functions as a mind-expanding drug that eliminates human mortality and grants people the power to transform their appearance at will. In the quaint religious town of Seagate, abstaining from food brings one closer to God. In Porter’s surreal, introspective debut, a benevolent alien invasion leads humanity into a utopia, exploring themes of grief and discontentment within a seemingly perfect world.

Lianne Milton for The Chronicle Broken Promises By Oyin Adedoyin O ne September day last. Then he was accused of threatening violence. He haunts lookalike fussy, silly, coffee shops, listens to old Joni Mitchell albums too loudly, and stares at his navel in the hope that he will find it in there. Mark McPhail was an up-and-coming leader. Nick, a young illustrator, can’t shake the feeling that there is some hidden realm of human interaction beyond his reach. A poignant and witty graphic novel by a leading New Yorker cartoonist, following a millennial's journey from performing his life to truly connecting with people Beaton's graceful writing is most perceptive when capturing others' physical appearance. Pathos aside, the diaries gain a jolt of interest from Beaton's catty assessments of his circle (Noel Coward, John Gielgud and the Queen Mother are all acquaintances) and celebrity subjects, whom he continued to photograph for Vogue well into his 70s. Yet this unflinching portrait of the artist's increasing debility is touching-all the more so coming from a man who spent much of his life capturing life from its most flattering angle. The years republished here, 1970-1980, are perhaps the least eventful of Beaton's life, concerned largely with his declining health, loss of sex drive and the shoring up of his artistic reputation:""To the younger generation I have become an old master,"" he writes. But the serial publication over the years of his diaries brought him notoriety, particularly the passages revealing his affair with Greta Garbo-bisexual in practice, Beaton's sensibility was swish. As a photographer and stage designer, Beaton's propensity for self-promotion had already brought him a fair measure of renown in his native England.
