DESCRIPTION:
Finally Homecoming Queef An honest portrayal of a trans woman by a trans woman. Imogen Binnie is kind of my hero. She's weird and funny and incredibly smart and this book reflects her personality beautifully. In addition to its refreshingly frank description of a trans woman going through things most people in their twenties and thirties can relate to, this book also offers some biting commentary on the current state of Brooklyn hipster culture. This is an excellent book and no doubt an important one. My only critique is that the manuscript still despe. "a novel novel" according to Madeleine. If you've gotten this far, you will probably enjoy Nevada. It is not as if you were trying to decide between Nevada and the latest James Patterson book, right? Or, maybe you are, and Nevada will make no sense to you.Nevada is a novel about a transsexual person, but it is not about transition. In that respect, it is self-consciously alone in its genre.

Great book Donna S. The thing that is most extraordinary about this novel should not be. Nevada shows a transperson as a fully complex human being. Personal and societal experience with gender is explored, but not in a vacuum. It is wonderful to see fully rounded characters addressing issues that feel real.
Nevada is the darkly comedic story of Maria Griffiths, a young trans woman living in New York City and trying to stay true to her punk values while working retail. When she finds out her girlfriend has lied to her, the world she thought she’d carefully built for herself begins to unravel, and Maria sets out on a journey that will most certainly change her forever.
