Clarke, Albertine

(1999-    ) UK author, in US from early adulthood, whose first novel The Body Builders (2026) confesses to some of the tonality and claustrophobic self-concerns of autofiction, but aerates this through a plot out of the SF Megatext: under the control of an interventionist Alien observer, she finds herself simultaneously occupying two disjunct bodies. This is found to be estranging but clears the air. Much is learned by the protagonist. [JC]
