Faltas: Letters to Everyone in My Hometown Who Isn't My Rapist

Cecilia Gentili

It’s a story by a trans woman recounting her youth in a provincial city in Argentina, and how being from an early age identifiable as some kind of gender and sexual other puts her in a position of being exploited by basically everybody.. It’s a really terrific, terrific book.

@GBBranstetter @intermittentcat I'm thinking about it next to John Rechy's portraits of trans fems in CITY OF NIGHT where I think the narrator is less troubled by internalized straight world hated.

William Gibson's NEUROMANCER has art made by AI, but the interesting part is what gives those works their intriguing qualities, make them sought after.

Renata Adler, SPEEDBOAT, @nyrbclassics. Like a good many New Yorker writers: worthless politics but astute observations of politics and how it arises. https://t.co/1oTAwn8mCi

@unit01barbie Hence Stuart Hall’s “without guarantees.” The 80s were a harrowing time, conceptually and emotionally.
