FUTURE FEELING

In a voice sporting a perfect balance of brash courage and vulnerability, transgender writer and narrator MW Cartozian Wilson playfully captures the life of a dog walker extraordinaire. Penfield R. Henderson is a young trans man who is trying to make his way in a surreal world of designer hormones, B-list celebrity hookups, social-media obsession, and unfulfilled societal and personal expectations. When Pen gets together with "the Witch" and "the Stoner-Hacker" to place a hex on a rival, he discovers he must enter the dizzying "Shadowlands" of self-actualization to rescue a friend. Full of snarky satire, colorful fantasy, and biting observations, this debut novel envisions a not-so-distant future in which a transgender world sounds just as messy and joyful as any other.
