SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg (Lavender Book Club)
DESCRIPTION:Read Reviews \nLulu | Amazon | Goodreads | The Storygraph \nGet the Book \nFree PDF (from the author) | Library | Amazon | Lulu \nAbout the Book\nWoman or man? This internationally acclaimed novel looks at the world through the eyes of Jess Goldberg\, a masculine girl growing up in the “Ozzie and Harriet” McCarthy era and coming out as a young butch lesbian in the pre-Stonewall gay drag bars of a blue-collar town.Stone Butch Blues traces a propulsive journey\, powerfully evoking history and politics while portraying an extraordinary protagonist full of longing\, vulnerability\, and working-class grit. This once-underground classic takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride of gender transformation and exploration and ultimately speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever suffered or gloried in being different. \nDear Reader:\nI want to let you know that Stone Butch Blues is an anti-oppression/s novel.\nAs a result\, it contains scenes of rape and other violence.\nNone of this violence is gratuitous or salacious.\nLeslie \n(Source: Goodreads) \nAbout the Author\n\nLeslie Feinberg [was] an anti-racist white\, working-class\, secular Jewish\, transgender\, lesbian\, female\, revolutionary communist…. \n\nHir last words were: \n“Remember me as a revolutionary communist.” \nRead the full author biography on LeslieFeinberg.net.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Summer Fun by Jeanne Thornton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our August reading selection\, Summer Fun by Jean Thornton! \nRead Reviews \nAmazon | Goodreads | The Storygraph \nGet the Book \nLibrary | Amazon | Local Bookstore \nAbout the Book\nWinner of the 2022 Lammy Award for Transgender Fiction \nFrom acclaimed author Jeanne Thornton\, an epic\, singular look at fandom\, creativity\, longing\, and trans identity. \nGala\, a young trans woman\, works at a hostel in Truth or Consequences\, New Mexico. She is obsessed with the Get Happies\, the quintessential 1960s Californian band\, helmed by its resident genius\, B—-. Gala needs to know: Why did the band stop making music? Why did they never release their rumored album\, Summer Fun? \nAnd so she writes letters to B—- that shed light not only on the Get Happies\, but paint an extraordinary portrait of Gala. The parallel narratives of B—- and Gala form a dialogue about creation—of music\, identity\, self\, culture\, and counterculture. \nSummer Fun is a brilliant and magical work of trans literature that marks Thornton as one of our most exciting and original novelists. \n(Source: Amazon) \nAbout the Author\nJeanne Thornton is an American writer and co-publisher of Instar Books and Rocksalt Magazine.
