Join us for the next installment of the Queer Classics book club on Sunday, March 23rd, from 6-8PM. Facilitated as always by @amy.e.lipman, at this meeting we will be discussing Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg.
Stone Butch Blues, Leslie Feinberg’s 1993 first novel, is widely considered in and outside the U.S. to be a groundbreaking work about the complexities of gender. Feinberg was the first theorist to advance a Marxist concept of “transgender liberation.” Sold by the hundreds of thousands of copies and also passed from hand-to-hand inside prisons, Stone Butch Blues has been translated into Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Slovenian, Turkish, and Hebrew (with hir earnings from that edition going to ASWAT Palestinian Gay Women). The novel was winner of the 1994 American Library Association Stonewall Book Award and a 1994 Lambda Literary Award.
The book is available online for free here: https://www.lesliefeinberg.net/
FREE and open to all. Pre-registration encouraged but not required.
