Vantanahon

“Who died and made you yeshmani?”

This is an environmental science-fiction novel about people who travel from one place to the next, using up the resources before moving on. Most of the book is on the quest for their new place. I loved Peter Voeller's world-building ability—for example, he has thought through rituals, social customs, and characters' histories. It's interesting to see the concerns and themes that interest him: the environment, eros, spirituality, and Sanskrit. It's also interesting to see his construction of a world that accepts and assumes multiple kinds of sexuality.
