Casey Plett's 2021 story collection "Dream of a Woman" centers on trans women navigating adulthood through quotidian experiences rather than dramatic moments, with the novella "Obsolution" tracing protagonist Vera's transition and self-actualization across five chapters. Reviewer Calvin Gimpelevich characterizes Plett's approach as gently de-sensationalized storytelling that treats transness as part of broader human experience, depicting characters in their twenties and thirties across North America confronting relationships, addiction, grief, and stability.
