True Detective Season 1 got us hooked on its plot twists and mystery, but it didn't do anything beyond that. True Detective Season 2 is where Pizzolato's talent for writing dark, melancholic and deeply human noir unfurls. Just like in his debut novel Galveston.
Imagine a world where people are no longer compelled to meet the expectations of their biological sex. Women no longer feel pressured to marry, obligated to be mothers, or compelled to be homemakers. Men are no longer pressured to be breadwinners or to meet masculine expectations set by our society...why does this world have to be imagined? Lydia Yuknavitch eloquently explores this in her latest sci-fi novel, Book of Joan.
