    About this series

    Originally published in 1984, this classic dystopian trilogy is a testament to the power of language and women's collective action.

    The interstellar Consortium of Planets forsakes the irredeemably violent Earth, condemning the planet to economic and ecological chaos. Given one last chance to halt Earth's annihilation, women freedom fighters discover a way to rid Earth of men's brutality-but it may have come too late. In the stunning conclusion to the Native Trilogy, female linguists must once again come forward and fight for the future of humanity.

      Originally published in 1984, this classic dystopian trilogy is a testament to the power of language and women's collective action. In 2205, the Nineteenth Amendment has long been repealed and women are only valued for their utility. The Earth's economy depends on an insular group of linguists who "breed" women to be perfect interstellar translators until they are sent to the Barren House to await death. But instead, these women are slowly creating a language of their own to make resistance possible. Ignorant to this brewing revolution, Nazareth, a brilliant linguist, and Michaela, a servant, both seek emancipation in their own ways. But their personal rebellions risk exposing the secret language, and threaten the possibility of freedom for all.

      Originally published in 1984, this classic dystopian trilogy is a testament to the power of language and women's collective action. In the second volume of the Native Tongue trilogy, the time has come for Láadan-the secret language created to resist an oppressive patriarchy-to empower womankind worldwide. To expand the language's reach, female linguists translate the Bible into Láadan and a group of Roman Catholic nuns are tasked to spread the language. But when outraged priests detect their sabotage, they send a double agent to infiltrate and destroy the movement from the inside.

      The Urgency of Queer Stories in Contemporary German Fiction

      I’m thrilled to be the curator for this year’s Festival Neue Literatur, the only US festival to showcase fiction originally written in German, happening in Manhattan and Brooklyn (starting tomorrow!) from March 2 to 5. The Festival Neue Literatur, which is in its eighth year, brings six emerging and established writers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland to New York City, where they join two US writers in a four-day series of readings and conversations. Our theme this year is “Queer as Volk.” As queer people face a dangerous political climate both in the United States and in Europe, stories
