Book Reviews of Stone Butch Blues: A Novel

Book Review: A Deeply Moving Novel
Summary: 5 Stars

This novel/memoir chronicles the world of a working class lesbian, gay, and transgendered people from the days before Stonewall to the present. It is a classic and probably the most important book available about transgender issues. I cried reading it on the train.

Feinberg is a committed communist, and some of the scenes involving worker solidarity are a contrived, but the book is well written and deeply moving. The scenes of gay bashing are, I should warn you, horrific, but this is a book very much worth reading.
