Stone Butch Blues

A classic for a reason. Stone Butch Blues is gripping, visceral, transporting and deeply emotional. I read it years ago and certain scenes I still remember vividly. First hand accounts of queer life in the early 20th century are hard to come by. A lesbian (and trans) story feels even rarer. To have this autobiography that's written at such a high caliber, and tells the story of a such a hard fought and inspirational life, is a joy and honor to read.
