Fat and Queer: An Anthology of Queer and Trans Bodies and Lives
by Bruce Owens Grimm, Tiff Joshua T.J. Ferentini, Miguel M. Morales
Thank you Net Galley for sending me a digital copy!
Yes it took time for me to read it. It’s only the second anthology I’ve ever read, and some words were kinda hard for me (not an English native speaker). But damn this book was great. Like wow.
Okay it some stories were really hard to read, the diet culture, homophobia, body dysphoria, transphobia that the writers (and/or protagonist face) can be really hard to read.
But now, I know that I really like anthology, and I want to read more queer anthology.
The writing? Beautiful! The stories? Great. And yeah you don’t have to be heterosexual and/or thin to be great. You can be you.
This is the perfect book if you’re questioning, if you have a bad image of yourself. If you need to read about people like you, by people like you.
Also, most of the authors are authors of Colors.
Like, read it. Even if you’re thin, heterosexual, cis... trust me, you’ll learn something!
