Nevada

Un’opera che porta chiunque a interrogarsi sui propri desideri e identità, aprendo nuovi orizzonti e trasmettendo una gran voglia di vivere e un irrinunciabile senso di libertà.

«Un libro bello e importante. Nitido, energizzante e molto divertente. È stato tra i primi romanzi contemporanei a trattare la storia di una donna trans in modo complesso e sfumato, senza fare affidamento sulla transizione per lo slancio narrativo o trattandola come un lieto fine garantito.» - Lily Mayer, The Atlantic

A vital read to understand transfems and our literature.

I was put onto this by the Transfeminine Review, and goodness am I glad. Much of what it has to say about queer community and how it treats trans women is still relevant today, and there are times it felt like my life was put on the page- like someone had read my mind! Maria is a window into our community- its no wonder this was a breakout hit. She's not likeable, at times- just like me and the girls I know aren't. She's genuine and a better character for it, a reflection for the world to see, but more importantly for girls like us to see. It's not quite perfect- its a little overly self conscious and the writing can be emotionally disconnected- but at the same time that's very fitting for what Nevada is trying to be. Definitely recommend

I actually kin Maria Griffiths

Sometimes you read a book that turns out to just be a series of call-out posts about your life. Sometimes you watch the main character struggle through life in her self-destructive patterns and you think "god that's me". Sometimes you have to put down a book for a moment to google "Am I dissociating?" "What is dissociation like" "How to tell when you're dissociating"

Seriously I fucking loved this book though. It described feelings about myself and life and sitting on a bicycle in the middle of the city at night not quite sure where you're going that I've never seen described before, and it was just an incredible read.
