Summary

Panpocalypse follows Orpheus, a queer disabled woman navigating a locked-down New York City during the coronavirus pandemic. Having just purchased a bicycle amid shortages, Orpheus embarks on a poignant journey in search of Eurydice, her first love who broke her heart. The largely closed city is a landscape of isolation and longing, but whispers of Le Monocle—a secret underground bar inspired by a 1930s Paris lesbian club—offer a glimmer of hope for connection and revolution.

Description

During the coronavirus pandemic, a queer disabled woman bikes through a locked-down NYC for the ex-girlfriend who broke her heart.

Orpheus manages to buy a bicycle just before they sell out across the city. She takes to the streets looking for Eurydice, the first woman she fell in love with, who also broke her heart. The city is largely closed and on lockdown, devoid of touch, connection, and community. But Orpheus hears of a mysterious underground bar Le Monocle, fashioned after the lesbian club of the same name in 1930s Paris.

Will Orpheus be able to find it? Will she ever be allowed to love again? Panpocalypse—first published as an online serial in the spring of 2020—follows a lonely, disabled, poly hero in this novel about disease, decay, love, and revolution.
