If you’ve read Becoming Nicole <\/a><\/em>by Amy Ellis Nutt for the Summer Reading Program, then you may be interested in the following five books, selected by the author Susan Stryker. In a November 2018 interview with Five Books<\/a>, Stryker explains how she made her selections. Jordy Rosenberg’s Confessions of a Fox<\/em> is a retelling of the story of criminal Jack Sheppard<\/a> (better known as Mack the Knife) as a transgender man, while I’ve Got a Time Bomb<\/em> is an illustrated punk rock novel about “very non-normative sorts of trans lives.” Black on Both Sides<\/em> looks at the intersection of blackness and transness. Histories of the Transgender Child <\/em>explores “notions of the transgender child” that “[stretch] back to at least the early 20th century” and are “related to notions of emotional and physical plasticity or malleability that are intimately related to questions of race.” Trap Door<\/em> is an “art-focused” book that documents trans people’s contributions to visual culture.

All five books are available through The Ames Library. (And if you’re not sure about how to find them on the shelf, just ask a librarian!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
