FANDOM NAME: Frankissstein: A Love Story - Jeanette Winterson
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: From wikipedia:

"The story switches between Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein in Geneva, Switzerland in 1816 and the story of Ry Shelley, a transgender transhumanist who becomes involved in the world of artificial intelligence in present-day Brexit-era Britain."

What I love the most about this story is how all real characters from that house in Geneva where Mary Shelly wrote her novel (Lord Byron, Percy Shelly, etc) map to present-day fictional characters in such a hilariously fitting way. It's so creative and so so so clever.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional) : It came out in 2019, so it should be in most bookshops and libraries (and e-libraries). It's also not very long, and an easy read.

Alas, it's VERY MUCH a novel about a trans guy written by a cis woman. There is some extremely disturbing "internalized" transphobia and I'd probably recommend trans and gnc folks to steer clear if they don't want to risk being really uncomfortable.
