A little too real for this enby. Would recommend especially to anyone who wants to learn something about the experiences of trans people, but not my jam. Included in a blog post and resource list at https://booksbeyondbinaries.blog/2019/06/10/non-fiction-about-gender-and-trans-e... A lot of these stories made me feel some very specific emotions that I had forgotten about because it was around when i started transitioning or even years before that. I think it's pretty impressive to tap into those so efficiently, at least I was impressed, but I dont really enjoy being reminded of those feelings because so much of it was trauma LOL I maybe shouldn't have read it all in one sitting bceause a lot of the stories were very samey, like they needn't have been broken up into short stories because they all seemed to be about the same person (though I went nuts over the fact that "Portland" and "Not Bleak" appear to take place in the same universe, easter egg). but no seriously not every trans person lives in the north, works in a bookshop, and is into bdsm... a few of the stories rlly shone though. "Portland Oregon" definitely stood out from the rest becuz it was different but it was without a doubt my favorite, 5 stars for that one it was devastating. "not bleak" and "winning" were also very captivating. those are the 3 that I would revisit or recommend. The stories in this collection are a bit uneven, but I liked them more and more as I got further in. Many of them seem oddly dated by virtue of being set perhaps 10 years ago. The interrelated world, where the protagonist of one story shows up as a minor character or in the background of another story, gives a nice effect, although it was a little forced at points. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"A new edition of the acclaimed debut story collection by two-time Lambda Literary Award winner Casey Plett. By the author of Little Fish and A Dream of a Woman:eleven unique short stories featuring young trans women stumbling through loss, sex, harassment, and love in settings ranging from a rural Mennonite town to a hipster gay bar in Brooklyn. These stories, shiny with whiskey and prairie sunsets, rattling subways and neglected cats, show growing up as a trans girl can be charming, funny, frustrating, or sad, but never will it be predictable. A Safe Girl to Love, winner of the Lambda Literary Award for transgender fiction, was first published in 2014. Now back in print after a long absence, this new edition includes an afterword by the author."-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
