Book Launch of Rupture Files
Book launch for Nathan Alexander Moore’s new book, Rupture Files, the story of extraordinary creatures making impossible but human decisions
We are thrilled to host the book launch for Nathan Alexander Moore’s new book, Rupture Files. Nathan is a Black transfemme writer. She is an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder whose research explores Black transfemininity, speculative fictions, and temporality. The Rupture Files is her debut fiction collection. The book is set across multiple worlds in upheaval, with a curious cast of Black queer characters who must choose between what they already know themselves to be and what they might yet become in the cataclysm.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Across multiple worlds in upheaval, a curious cast of Black queer characters must choose between what they already know themselves to be and what they might yet become in the cataclysm. A shapeshifter learns to embrace their body as it changes through a lunar cycle. A stranger’s visit disturbs three sisters sheltering from monsters that stalk the land. An archivist hears an irresistible call to the rising ocean as she uncovers a surprising history. A mysterious fire sparks whispers of revolution in the mind of a vampire’s captive consort. At once tender and audacious, Nathan Alexander Moore’s debut collection tells the stories of extraordinary creatures making impossible but human decisions. Traversing apocalypses both big and small, these captivating tales vibrate with the tensions between loss and growth; self and community; precarity and possibility.
