Filmography 1970s - John Barry - The Man With The Midas Touch". www.johnbarry.org.uk . Retrieved 2020-10-23. People need to give each other space to make choices. We can't live solely for other people. Even if it hurts them. Even when it breaks your heart" (174). Kaiko is trapped inside an ancient sunken tomb by a school of venomous stonefish. When the rest of the Nektons are trapped as well after trying to rescue her, Ant finds that being the smallest of the Nektons does have its advantages, letting him escape and rescue his family. In short, a grief story shortchanged by throwing in vaguely messy science fiction — or a science fiction story suffering from too much underdeveloped vagueness in pursuit of exploration of grief. A strange thought experiment for which I’m not a good match.

And all that kept removing the spotlight from Trina’s emotional journey to the detriment of the story’s message, and leaving me feeling a bit disengaged. Prior to the alien invasion, Trina was on the leading edge of society in both her self actualization and lifestyle. After, she feels abandoned in a landscape that no longer makes sense and unloved by the people in her life she valued the most. The dreaming mermaid is a statue the dark orca stole. It is too famous nobody would risk buying it. The Nektons return it.Professor Fiction (voiced by James Higuchi) is the Nekton's scientific adviser, as well as the builder of the Arronax and the Knights. His inventions usually require tweaking and testing but are extremely effective when working correctly. Enter Trina, our protagonist. Trina is a trans artist and she kind of goes through the emotional wringer in this. Trina doesn't quite buy into The Seep as much as other people and she's increasingly skeptical of this new way of life and through her and her skepticism Porter explores some very human, very relevant ideas. Trina works really well as a protagonist and I had a lot of sympathy for her and what she had to go through. THE SEEP is a slow-moving work of speculative fiction reminiscent of Sheri S. Tepper and Ursula K. Le Guin, especially with the themes of female empowerment, LGBT+ identity, and explorations of what it really means to be human as explored from the lens of an entity that is not. The book is very short but it doesn't feel short-- and the writing is gorgeous. It's great to see a science-fiction work that features an older woman of color who is LGBT+, as a lot of popular science-fiction books tend to feature younger, heterosexual white heroes and heroines as their leads. There are so many great themes explored in this work and it feels very literary. What could have been dark is lightened by some humor and a surrealistic, fantasy-like environment that swirls around you like a Dali painting.

Does it explore the complex emotions a trans person might have if they were suddenly able to alter their body easily and without consequence? Nope. An intoxicating takeover narrative, its promises as appealing on their surfaces as they are frightening in their implications . . . The Seep is a daring paean to human vulnerability and a bold speculative inquest into what makes life worth living.” At the heart of this story is grief - and I think that grief is explored beautifully. We see Trina's rage, her grief, her listlessness, but also her desperate hope to hold onto something and to make sense of something. That's my problem with the whole book- it's all style over substance. There are just so many missed opportunities here for exploring the complexities of this radically changed world.

I highly recommend this for any fans of Jeff Vandermeer, literary sci-fi, quirky dystopian societies, and existential themes. Even if you're on the fence, I promise it's worth it for Chana Porter's incredible writing.

This was a delightfully weird book that nevertheless was such a beautiful exploration of grief and depression in a world where the gentle overseer only wanted to make everything better and bring happiness, no matter what. In Porter’s surreal, introspective debut, a benevolent alien invasion leads humanity into a utopia, exploring themes of grief and discontentment within a seemingly perfect world . . . Readers will delight in the eerie disquietude and optimism of this well-calibrated what-if.” Porter’s gripping, subtly hopeful work of literary speculative fiction is shaped by remarkable world-building elements and acute observation of human frailties and impetus.” The Deep offers free entry for any essential carer/s when they are accompanying another paying visitor or existing Annual Pass holder who would not be able to visit without their support. If you are an essential carer visiting with a family member/friend, please bring something to show this such as a PIP/DLA letter. If you are an essential carer bringing a service user, please bring your staff ID badge or a letter printed on headed paper for the organisation you work for. Commander Pyrosome (voiced by Nicole Oliver): leader of the World Oceans Authority, usually only appears by video call.Logic is not strong here. Chapter 2 — Trina’s bare feet sink into the moss on the floor, she looks at her reflection in the mirror and sees “old Levi’s, hoodie, ancient leather boots”.
