Panpocalypse

By: Carley Moore

Narrated by: Hope Newhouse

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 spring of 2020 - follows a lonely, disabled poly hero in this novel about disease, decay, love, and revolution.

A fun book

A beautifully narrated wild joyride of emotions through space and time , a fun story full of interesting characters , totally enjoyed it for sure

Not my story but great all the same

Reading about the 2020 quarantine in hindsight is surreal. Moore is a fascinating but uplifting voice in this dark and difficult stage in our recent history. There were moments of joy and moments of tears. The lens of a disabled queer woman also made the book's events seem brand new since I experienced the quarantine as a white cisgendered woman, and our experiences differed in nuanced ways.
