I take an image and I build outward from that. Gretchen: The very first thing I came up with for Manhunt was the image of a trans woman shooting a man while he was drinking water at a pool. Where did you begin? Was it with the concept? The characters? The themes?

Felker-Martin finds the humanity in all of her characters - even her worst ones - and it results in a work of art as challenging as it is entertaining. The depths this book explores about trans people’s relationships to themselves, each other, and the world at large touch on experiences I’ve never seen in fiction. Within her heightened setting, Felker-Martin has crafted a collection of characters that feel as true to our world as their own. ![]() And yet the novel is so much more than a provocation. With its post-apocalyptic setting where testosterone is poison and TERFs run death squads, it’s readymade to piss off all corners of the internet.
