Description: "Time and fate, mortality and motherhood, paternalism and destruction: ohara goes for the extremes with all of these, making for an envelope-pushing story that is often remarkably controlled but also strays wildly off the rails (to places beyond even just a concept of rails ...). It is an uneven but often fascinating and in parts utterly remarkable read. A wild, bizarre mix of rides -- but worthwhile."-- Complete Review "Ohara does not eschew death and destruction but she definitely takes a much more nuanced (and intelligent) approach both to this and to the rest of the book. She is certainly concerned with science fiction tropes." -- The Modern Novel "For any fan of speculative fiction, Hybrid Child presents a sprawling, imaginative excursion into the unknown that also predicts current familiar thematic questions of gender politics and weaponized robots." -- The Japan Times "Atmospheric, brutal, and wildly intelligent, ohara's masterpiece is translated with bravura and care." -- Publishers Weekly
