Upright Women Wanted by Sarah Gailey
A 2021 Hugo and Locus Award Finalist • A 2020 ALA Booklist Top 10 SFF Pick • A Booklist Editor's Choice Pick • Named a Best Book of 2020 (NPR, New York Public Library, Booklist, Bustle, Den of Geek)
"A breezy, rousing, and unrelentingly fun gallop.”—NPR
In Upright Women Wanted, Sarah Gailey reinvents the neo-Western with an explicitly antifascist, near-future story of queer identity.
Esther is a stowaway.
She’s hidden herself away in the Librarian’s book wagon in an attempt to escape the marriage her father has arranged for her. To the man who was previously engaged to her best friend. Her best friend who she was in love with. Her best friend who was just executed for possession of resistance propaganda.
The future American Southwest is full of bandits, fascists, and queer librarian spies on horseback trying to do the right thing. They'll bring the fight to you.
