I really liked this book about working class trans and queer folx who work together in a gay bar. There are trans femme, trans masc, non-binary, drag queens, transvestite characters. Content warning for murdered trans woman. I like that they protest and have a revolutionary political perspective. It’s set in New York and Max, the trans masculine character is Jewish. Very cool book if you can stomach getting past the bashing which happens in the beginning. ( ) The most recent novel by the author of 'Stone Butch Blues' is a nuanced exploration of (trans)identities in a complex cultural, political and technological landscape. Feinberg challenges the reader to conceptualize the characters in the novel without revealing "all" much the way our own, multi-faceted, real identities and lives play out on a daily basis. Excellent work to further queer the representations of the queer self/body/life. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A veteran of the women's and gay movement of the past 30 years, Max's mid-life crisis hits in the midst of the post-9/11 world. Max is lonely and uncertain about her future -- fearful, in fact, of America's future with its War on Terror and War in Iraq -- with only a core group of friends to turn to for reassurance. Max is shaken from her crisis, however, by the news that her friend Vickie, a transvestite, has been found murdered on her way home late one night. As the community of cross-dressers, drag queens, lesbian and gay men, and "genderqueers" of all kinds stand up together in the face of this tragedy, Max taps into the activist spirit she thought had long disappeared and for the first time in years discovers hope for her future.
