As fast-paced as it is beautifully written, this thought-provoking and utterly original debut from a remarkable young writer is part of the new wave of speculative literary fiction that includes The Bees, The Well, Station Eleven and The Chimes

Recenzii
Startlingly fresh ... Along with the protagonist I became a tiger, an eagle, a whale. I hunted, flew and swam in this extraordinary book which goes to the heart of what it means to be alive in a shared universe
A work of intelligent, thought-provoking, spine-chilling science fiction that will delight and terrify in equal measure . Exciting, horrifying and compelling
Mixing sci-fi and the natural world it promises to be original and thought-provoking for readers of many genres
In this exhilarating metaphysical white-knuckle ride Geen takes us into the other worlds that crouch, slink and bark around us. It's an audacious tour de force that will leave you reeling with ontological vertigo
A compulsively readable sci-fi thriller ... The Many Selves of Katherine North would be an accomplishment from any writer, but the fact that this book comes from a first-time novelist is simply astonishing. Emma Geen has built a vivid and wildly engaging world around an incredibly compelling protagonist, creating a piece of work that transcends genre. No qualifiers are needed; this is a great book, full stop
Flips between past and present, human and creature . Geen's psychological approach to the empathy and disconnect constantly shedding identities causes in its human protagonist lifts The Many Selves into an engaging take on established tropes
Reminiscent of The Matrix and KA Applegate's Animorphs series, Geen slips between past and present, human and creature to tell Kit's coming-of-age story, racking up suspense with a deftly handled environmental slant, while trying to describe radically different ways of experiencing the world
This is a riveting read. Geen weaves together philosophy and science fiction to create a magical, intelligent and intense novel. This is real philosophy in action
Never anything less than magnificent . One of the most exciting debut novels I have read in years. Full of scientific and psychological speculation and yet grounded in the world of material conditions and psychological consequences, the novel provides exactly what I want to see from twenty-first century science fiction
