“A singular and deeply moving book. Osmundson has birthed a profound meditation on family and food, longing and loss, hope and grief, humans and salmon. In his story, we find a multitude of beautiful, complicated ways of imagining the future—and then working to build one.” –Ed Yong, Pulitzer Prize-winner and New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World
From the author of National Book Critics Circle Award and Lambda Literary Award finalist VIROLOGY comes an intimate chronicle of queer family-making.
Since grade school, Joseph Osmundson dreamed of being pregnant. As he grew into the queer scientist he is today, the economic precarity of academia and the warming planet led to his decision not to reproduce. That is, until a lesbian couple he had known since college came to him with a proposition: would Joe be a bio-dad and would he co-parent alongside them?
Soon everything was falling into place. But when the two partners communicated their need for a child to reflect their own racial backgrounds, Joe’s whiteness exposed fault lines in their parenting journey. Spawning Season is a genre-bending memoir that treats the scientific as integral to the personal and that builds an entire species of the grief we carry in our bodies. In exploratory prose that builds on the work of Donna Haraway and José Esteban Muñoz, Osmundson considers the ethics of child-rearing in the 21st century, the brutal wonder of caregiving, and the joys and intricacies of building family beyond biology.©2026 Joseph Osmundson (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la crítica
Osmundson’s 2022 essay collection Virology established the NYU professor as a voice of his generation…In Spawning Season, Osmundson looks at queer parenthood and the natural world. (Kate Tuttle)
An utterly unique contribution to the often predictable genre of infertility and parenting lit...Spawning Season is, among other things, a deeply personal exploration of 'situational infertility,' the voluntary or involuntary lack of children due to external factors...It’s rare to read a well-researched nonfiction narrative that blends fascinating specialized knowledge with sharp political critique and a moving, gripping personal story. (Briallen Hopper)
I tore through this book in one sitting, falling in love with the sentences, the way that the book unfolded, how it could have also easily been a food memoir, and the way in which he explicates the science of it all. (Emily Maloney)
Evocative...a reflection on family building, yes, but also a broader look at the interconnected systems of family, gender, race/ethnicity, and the environment; at the role and limits of biology in queer parenthood; and at what it means to nourish, nurture, hope, and grieve. Thoroughly original, thought-provoking, and entertaining, it is a highly recommended look at queer parenthood with a wide—one might say 'fish-eye'—lens. (Dana Rudolph)
Biophysicist Osmundson blends memoir and science writing in this moving meditation on queer family, the climate crisis, and 21st-century child-rearing.
In this intriguing combination of memoir and nature writing, microbiology professor Joseph Osmundson reflects on modern queer parenthood and finds unlikely reflections of his own journey in the animal world. He draws thought-provoking parallels between the lifecycle of salmon and the agreement he made with a lesbian couple he’d known since college to co-parent. With deep considerations of the ethics of having children during a climate crisis, humanity’s role in the natural world, and breaking societal expectations of family structures, it’s an emotional and introspective personal story. (Susie Dumond)
What a singular and deeply moving book. In Spawning Season, Joseph Osmundson has birthed a profound meditation on family and food, longing and loss, hope and grief, humans and salmon. In his story, we find a multitude of beautiful, complicated ways of imagining the future—and then working to build one.
