Emma, March 13, 2007 (view all comments by Emma)
This is the book that represents not only the transformation of the life of the protagonist, but of many individuals working to articulately address the complexities of both sexuality and gender presentation. From the first publication of Stone Butch Blues to its current reissue, the novel has become akin to a new generation's Stonewall, in defining truth of self and building community allegiance. Highly recommended for anyone--straight, queer, or other--who wishes to comprehend the greater nuances of sex and gender. A cornerstone achievement in literature.
