The Heat of Us: Notes Toward an Oral History, by Sam J. Miller
The Heat of Us is the sort of story the Sad Puppies complain about for the Hugos. It's an oral history of the Stonewall uprising with the added fantasy element that a wave of fire magically came off some of the resisters and killed several of the cops involved in the raid. It's got some literary interest for character development, but there's really not much there that's speculative. OK but I can't give it more than two stars.
