Lambda Literary Award winner
This exciting and groundbreaking fiction anthology showcases a number of new and emerging 2SQ (Two-Spirit and queer Indigenous) writers from across Turtle Island. These visionary authors show how queer Indigenous communities can bloom and thrive through utopian narratives that detail the vivacity and strength of 2SQness throughout its plight in the maw of settler colonialism’s histories.
Here, readers will discover bio-engineered AI rats, transplanted trees in space, the rise of a 2SQ resistance camp, a primer on how to survive Indigiqueerly, virtual reality applications, motherships at sea, and the very bending of space-time continuums queered through NDN time. Love after the End demonstrates the imaginatively queer Two-Spirit futurisms we have all been dreaming of since 1492.
Contributors include Darcie Little Badger, Mari Kurisato, Kai Minosh Pyle, David Alexander Robertson, and jaye simpson.

I read this book for my BIPOC book club. I like reading a variety of literature and a chance to read diverse authors. This book is a collection of short stories and some I really enjoyed and some not so much. The books uses some Native words sometimes which without a translation probably lose some of their impact. I found the scifi and post apocalyptic very imaginative. With any books about Native Americans, their treatment by whites is always an issue and in this book, the 2spirit people were also mistreated by many in their tribes.
