A powerful collaboration between two extraordinary performer-writers on matters of gender and identity.
Rae Spoon Books
This non-binary artist delves into themes of identity and liminal experience. Through both their prose and music, the author explores the complexities of human existence, often focusing on marginalized voices. Their writing is characterized by a raw honesty and a poetic style that draws readers into intimate worlds.
Rae Spoon has six albums and a Polaris Prize nomination, and they have been published in the anthology Persistence. Now the transgender artist presents a coming-of-age story about growing up queer in a strict Pentecostal family. At first the narrator faithfully attends church with their family. Upon discovering the music that becomes their means of escape, things begin to change. Their father's schizophrenia causes their parents' marriage to unravel, leading them to take comfort in their siblings and in the awareness that they are not the person their parents think they are.
