GUD REVIEWS: The Gender Divide by David Boultbee

I enjoyed this book–it’s something of a romp, although possibly that obscures a serious purpose. But, oh dear, it’s often unintentionally hilarious as well. Boultbee posits a world in which women’s lifespans have increased three-fold following the ...

GUD Reviews: MEAT by Joseph D’Lacey
