my fave volume so far!!

Really love that this is told from the perspective of a historian contending with personal and scholarly challenges and braiding them in the storytelling. It helped to explain the unfinishedness of the story. I struggled with two logistical aspects of the reading: (1) tiny print that made it very challenging for me to actually read what was on the page and (2) no page numbers, which would make this a bit tough to use as a teaching tool. Would love a second edition with larger, more traditional comic-type text as well as page numbers. Otherwise, a beautiful and important book--great to share with students who are curious how researchers can translate our important work to other genres and for other audiences.

just fantastic. a gorgeous anthology of queer stories. lots of moments of heartbreak and magic. somehow, every story has this quiet wonder that makes me think a bit of the nostalgia of childhood summertime sleepovers.
