Huginn and Muninn and What Came After is a story of alternate reality--maybe a dream, maybe something else. Michael Swanwick is very much a literary stylist, and when you read him you get caught up in the writing, perhaps more than the story. That's definitely what happened to me here. He has a really interesting take on gender identity and fluidity, and escape from unwanted relationships. I liked it.
