Stone Butch Blues
ByPublisher Description
Woman or man? This internationally acclaimed novel looks at the world through the eyes of Jess Goldberg, a masculine girl growing up in the "Ozzie and Harriet" McCarthy era and coming out as a young butch lesbian in the pre-Stonewall gay drag bars of a blue-collar town.
Stone Butch BluesStone Butch Blues traces a propulsive journey, powerfully evoking history and politics while portraying an extraordinary protagonist full of longing, vulnerability, and working-class grit. This once-underground classic takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride of gender transformation and exploration and ultimately speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever suffered or gloried in being different.
Dear Reader:
I want to let you know that Stone Butch Blues is an anti-oppression/s novel.
As a result, it contains scenes of rape and other violence.
None of this violence is gratuitous or salacious.

4.5
““Never underestimate the power of fiction to tell the truth.” Leslie Feinberg most definitely did just that. In a partly excruciating painful way, but one that was sadly as honest as it could get. This is not a book you’ll forget, it’s going to live on and propel readers to continuously ask questions, check privileges and especially for the queer community, this work is invaluable.”
