Why read it?
2 authors picked Fierce Femmes And Notorious Liars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It's quite an amazing book, unlike anything I've read before. Though it's called a memoir, it's more a fable, a reclamation of all the trans tropes in literature, a world-building fantasy that has the aching thrum of truth running through it, and in its own way, a queer revolutionary manifesto.
It doesn't skirt the dangers trans women of color face in the world, but at the same time, it centers the power with those trans women. It's absolutely fabrication, and it's also absolutely true.
Neurodivergence, queerness, and the power of spreading love far and wide will find few more apt combinations than in Kai Cheng Thom’s magical-realist faux-memoir, Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars.
This surreal, poignant piece of fiction hits so many notes that resonate for people like us that it is difficult to list them all.
In its violent and sometimes confusing splendor, one finds a story of someone finding the people who will love her through the pain of a world that neither understands nor respects our difference, and in the end, what more could we want than that?
From Alyssa's list on neurodiversity and relationships.
