Them! by Harry Josephine Giles

I really enjoyed having the audiobook version of Them! It definitely gives a different sense of what things and which words matter most to the author/performer as she explores contemporary life for a trans woman. Overall, you get ths cool sense of different voices and energies throughout. There's anger and humour in an intensely "poetic" collection. I found the commentary on work and neo-liberalism hit me the most. Would definitely like to look at a print copy as I did miss some sections. However, she reads the collection with so much vivacity that I didn't mind. It's zesty and clever.
