Description
Advance Praise
‘It’s a rare book that seems to drift like smoke away from the printed page to rewrite the physical world…[Kneen] wants us to strip naked and be transformed.’—Melbourne Review of Books
‘A highly provocative read that masterfully offers thoughtful speculation on the future of technology, memory and sexuality.’—Books+Publishing
‘This novel questions what it will mean to be human when we are able to be more than human—to be plural, genderless, or living the experiences of someone else through a digital narrative. With An Uncertain Grace, Kneen has given us something that is at once intensely affecting, entertaining, and hugely fascinating.’—Readings
‘Folding sensitive threads of erotica into mind-bending speculative fiction, Krissy Kneen’s latest novel is an ambitious genre hybrid that addresses both morality and mortality from unique vantage points.’—The Australian
‘Such fantastical feats of Kneen’s fertile imagination are not only bedded in a convincing future reality of extreme weather and drastically diminished species but blessed with engagingly lively and varied characters. Their circumstances, typified by the unusual fluidity of the personal pronouns, are often deeply and inventively strange, yet utterly convincing.’—SA Weekend
‘Highly unusual, very ambitious…but I think Krissy Kneen achieves it.’—Radio New Zealand
‘A story in which science offers creepy solutions for unmanageable problems…A beautiful, dark read.’—Listener
‘Kneen’s imaginative leap towards a transhuman world is endlessly curious and inventive, provocative and inspiring.’—Sydney Morning Herald
‘One of the most radical and insightful writers working in Australian letters today…Just read this. You won’t regret it.’—Overland
‘Haunting and wonderful.’—My Cup and Chaucer
