    If/when you have a moment, could you share your thoughts on Gertrude Stein in general and "Tender Buttons" in particular?

    I haven't been yet to that exhibition I mentioned to you a little while ago, but I have been revisiting "Tender Buttons" and thinking about Stein.

  13. “When we try to reduce people, we often try and reduce them to this or that, but we’re all multiple… I think the reason that TRUMPET is still a popular book all these years later is because it deals with some of these questions of multiple identity.”

    —Jackie Kay discusses her 1998 novel TRUMPET with Lavender Menace volunteer Maeve Sheridan.

  20. #TransRightsReadathon has come round again! Read and uplift books by trans authors and donate to support transrightsreadathon.carrd.co/

    While I have had a very slow year of reading since last year, I will be boosting a bunch of my previous reads rather than doing another list here. But I have picked up a new read to start today which I'll write up later.

    While my list has been quiet for the last 12 months, trans authors have not. There are loads more books out so do check out your local queer bookstore or library!

    If you are in London and looking for a selection of trans books to borrow? Check out book28.org - or in Dublin or Glasgow, look up smalltranslibrary.org - does anyone know of other queer library projects around the world? Please share!

  25. As someone who tends to prefer stand alone stories, it has been a long time since I have anticipated the conclusion to a trilogy like this and perhaps the first time I have reserved one in advance.

    But Touraine is someone who has captivated me as a character grappling with their identity under colonialism. This reflects both in the realm of empires and on a personal level with Luca. And while that relationship on the surface is characterised by Luca's royal status, it is as true for any interpersonal relationship where you have differing colonial legacies.

    This final book deftly brings to a head how Touraine has to choose who she defines herself by the future she builds. Notably, by changing her colonial culture "by making them reckon with her presence". I am also so happy with how it has been resolved. All too often historic fantasies based around monarchies end in a victory for the status quo or a benevolent dictator. Finally here we have a proper, messy, conversation around what real change looks like. Not just as far as the world goes, but how we've seen the monarchy impact Luca and Touraine really shows how there is no just exercise of imperialism.

    As conclusions go, for both the individuals and the world, this is perhaps the most thoughtful understanding of power and corruption I've read.

    Still here after the colonialism part? Good, so it's also hot. As much as narrative and the worldbuilding is all beautiful; Sabine holds a special place in my heart. I didn't get why people weren't talking about her more after the second book. That charming wine making fencer seducing every girl around her and eyeing up threesomes... she stole my heart. Chapter 15 was... mmmmmm long awaited.
