![]() ![]() JW: If I’m going to flatter myself, I’d say Shiri Eisner’s Bi: Notes For A Bisexual Revolution. I’m like a broken record with how much I plug this book (even within my own book!), but Bi immensely shifted my perception of bisexuality. ![]() I learn something new every time I open it.īM: What book do you think your book is most in conversation with? On top of all that, it reimagines the genre of memoir, and does so effortlessly. I own it in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook (I had reasons for all of them, I swear). This book is such a powerful rumination on queer relationships and sexism, as well as what emotional abuse looks like through both of those lenses. ![]() JW: I hardly ever re-read books, with one exception: In the Dream Houseby Carmen Maria Machado. In hindsight, my fate should’ve been obvious: The book is about a girl who learns to love herself even after her skin turns “rainbow”-can’t get much more on the nose than that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ![]() At 32 (that is-this year), I realized my passion for ABCOTS was probably a harbinger of my queerness (at least according to those “if you liked X, you’re gay now!” memes, which are basically a scholarly source). At 7, I devoured this book while sipping hot cocoa in the Borders Bookstore cafe like the wannabe beat poet I was. Jen Winston: A Bad Case of the Stripes by David Shannon. ![]()
