An interesting book on natural history at night. If you’ve never spent much time out in nature at night I can highly recommend it. I can remember evenings in southern Mexico with owls and howler monkeys fondly. Closer to home we frequently spend evenings outside at Whitefish Point watching owls heading north. More often we spend the night with our moth setups when we photograph lots of moths and other insects. Now, on to science fiction.
I can recommend this work of post-apocalyptic fiction. It takes place in Argentina in the 2200s. Dengue boy, a human-mosquito hybrid becomes dengue girl which leads to some interesting events. If you’re into strange science fiction this is for you. However, I’d check it out from the library as it’s somewhat expensive for the length of the book. Speaking of checking it out –
