Teaser Tuesday: The One-Armed Man

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I’m in the middle of reading Samuel R. Delany’s Nova for my Afrofuturism seminar and so that’s where today’s Teaser comes from … I’ve got some complicated thoughts on the book, so I’ll save those for the review.
