Book Discussion: STONE BUTCH BLUES by Leslie Feinberg (NEW DATE 1/28/24)

Hey guys,

[Ways to purchase this book are available here: https://www.lesliefeinberg.net/]

During Pride Month, I had made notes on some LGBTQ authors I haven't read. I thought this novel would be a fun read for us. Goodreads description below:

"Woman or man? This internationally acclaimed novel looks at the world through the eyes of Jess Goldberg, a masculine girl growing up in the "Ozzie and Harriet" McCarthy era and coming out as a young butch lesbian in the pre-Stonewall gay drag bars of a blue-collar town. Stone Butch Blues traces a propulsive journey, powerfully evoking history and politics while portraying an extraordinary protagonist full of longing, vulnerability, and working-class grit. This once-underground classic takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride of gender transformation and exploration and ultimately speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever suffered or gloried in being different."

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Melissa
