[nesfa-reading-group] Suggestion for future reading: Katherine Dunn's "Geek Love"

[M M]

Hi Wes,

I've looked at this novel a number of years back, and it didn't look like it would hold my interest. Feel free to bring it up at the group meeting on Friday, though. 

Best,

Mike

 The note I sent out to NESFA-open
 reference the following link (whole this
 time, I hope):
 
 https://theconversation.com/freaks-geeks-norms-and-mores-why-people-use-the-
 status-quo-as-a-moral-compass-59046
 
 That article reference the book "Geek Love" [
 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13872.Geek_Love ]
 "The Binewskis are no ordinary family. Arty has flippers
 instead of limbs;
 Iphy and Elly are Siamese twins; Chick has telekinetic
 powers. These
 traveling circus performers see their differences as
 talents, but others
 consider them freaks with "no values or morals."
 Whilst this might not have been classified as "Science
 Fiction"; the fact
 that a character has telekinetic powers would qualify it as
 such, I think.
 
 Wes
