Can we continue the future discussions of this book at this location, so as to consolidate the critiques into a single thread? There's a lot to say about this work, and I know that there's widespread interest here at ABC Tables in this developing story.

XY is an intense and poetic science fiction story, reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale". It's a deep book, with a very feminist viewpoint, which I can almost guarantee will make male reader's squirm. From previous commentary, women readers are clearly enjoying this. But it also has a sympathetic and sexy approach that will hold a male reader's attention.

In short, it is a great commentary on an undeniable and regrettable aspect of our society: gender warfare.

Further comments anyone? (If you don't add any, I definitely will!)
