A review by graveyardpansy
Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg
5.0
“Never underestimate the power of fiction to tell the truth.”
This novel is painful and raw and vulnerable, but easily one of the most important things I’ve ever read. I think, if I grew up when Feinberg or Jess did, we would’ve been very similar. Lesbian history is beautiful, trans history is beautiful, and I wish more people recognized how common it is for them to intertwine. I don’t think this story will ever fall out of relevancy.
