For Today I Am a Boy

Kim Fu

Heather McCormack

Over the moon to have Kim Fu’s new story collection, LESSER KNOWN MONSTERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY, in my TBR pile. Fu’s debut, FOR TODAY I AM A BOY, remains a favorite for its portrayal of a trans Chinese character and how she was forced to live a double life in small-town Ontario https://t.co/CDAjsQcSGr
