.Treasure: Raised By Wolves, Volume Three (Raised By Wolves)
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: W. A. Hoffman

May 09, 2008
I love this whole series. There are some issues in this book that were very disturbing to me, but I'm so attached to the characters I really need to find out what happens to them. While I may not love everything the characters do, I want to continue the journey with them! I cannot get them out of my mind!

.Neither Man Nor Woman: The Hijras of India
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Serena Nanda

November 30, 1998
I found this book very interesting and informative. I had read accounts of this type of goddess worship in ancient records (greek and roman)when I was a teenager but there was little cultural context and no rationale concerning the practices of emasculation. This book answered a lot of questions, why the operation, what the benefit to the devotee, who were these worshippers. I enjoyed finelly getting the answers to decades long questions.

.Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Alison Bechdel

June 08, 2006
I live an hour away from Beech Creek, Alison Bechdel's tiny hometown and the setting for much of her graphic memoir Fun Home. I've always found the area oppressive: dark, looming mountains casting perpetual shadows on impoverished, dying valley towns. But after reading Fun Home, I revisited Beech Creek, to see Bechdel's childhood home and the grave of her father Bruce, and to remind myself of how cruelly ironic life can be.

Bruce Bechdel, a man who loves literature (in his early days he identified with F. Scott Fitzgerald; in his final days he reads Proust), an aesthete with a taste for the baroque detail of the Victorian era, and a creative and versatile designer of interior and exterior landscapes, is born and lives in rural central Pennsylvania, ...

.The Kid: What Happened After My Boyfriend and I Decided to Go Get Pregnant
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Dan Savage

June 05, 2000
Dan Savage wrote an amazing account of the good and bad times of becoming a two-same-sex parent family. As a single gay man who is researching his potential of becoming a single gay dad, I definitely learned something from Dan & his partner's story. Dan's accounts drew a picture of possibility for me in a very funny way. Thanks Dan. If I wasn't sure about having kids before reading your book, I certainly am sure now!

City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Ally Blue

April 20, 2008
When Dan Corazon finds Stevie Sanger naked, beaten and abandoned, something about the abused young man calls to Dan's protective instincts. Without question, Dan sees to his care and soon learns that Stevie is a prostitute and unwilling to pursue his attacker. While he has every reason to leave, Dan simply can't abandon the fascinating young man. Offering to help him get back on his feet, Dan invites Stevie to live with him. Although not sure he deserves to take it, Stevie ultimately can't resist the comfort and safety of the offer. From the beginning both are intensely attracted, but reticent to act. Dan doesn't want to push Stevie, and more importantly, he is not openly gay. Used to hiding his true self, Dan is afraid of a relationship with the very out Stevie ... Read More:

.My Gender Workbook: How to Become a Real Man, a Real Woman, the Real You, or Something Else Entirely
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Kate Bornstein

December 18, 1997
Kate Bornstein's writing is a pleasure to read! My Gender Workbook is a great way to start looking at nonstandard genders if you're used to thinking in strictly binary terms. While there's room in her viewpoint for girly girls and manly men, there's definitely a bit of bias towards transsexual and genderqueer folks. The quotes from different sources in the sidebar create a variety of perspectives on gender, in case you don't identify too strongly with Kate Bornstein's personal story (which, let's face it, isn't common to most of us).

If you're already breaking the gender binary- that is, if you're the sort of person who'd be interested in this book- then likely it wouldn't provide much more than some much-needed encouragement. However, if you're new to transgressing ... Read More:

.Finlater
City Travel Guides > Books > Gay and Lesbian
by: Shawn Stewart Ruff

June 15, 2008
It's the spring of '69 in Cincinnati. In the bathroom of a cramped house in a barren housing project, a black kid of 13 is soaking in the tub, hearing the screen door slam as a mystery guest is greeted by his mom. Moments before, Cliffy stood naked at the bathroom window watching a dark, nattilydressed man pull into the parking lot in a low-slung T-Bird. "He turned up our sidewalk.... Our eyes locked in the tug of gravity -- the little body me, the big body him, in a pull like the moon toward the earth or the earth toward the sun, or me toward fried chicken legs, my favourite thing in the world."

Two pages in and I was hooked on this writing. Cosmic homoerotic magnetism and fried chicken legs? It's a giggle -- but so much more. We feel the swirling, unformed passions of a child teetering ... Read More:
