SUMMARY:Riot Reads Book Club
DESCRIPTION:For September\, we’ll read Nevada by Imogen Binnie! To get to the room pass the checkout counter\, go down the hall\, and take a left. Masks welcome but not mandatory. \n\n\n\nNevada by Imogen Binnie \n\n\n\nA beloved and blistering cult classic and finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction finally back in print\, Nevada follows a disaffected trans woman as she embarks on a cross-country road trip. \n\n\n\nMaria Griffiths is almost thirty and works at a used bookstore in New York City while trying to stay true to her punk values. She’s in love with her bike but not with her girlfriend\, Steph. She takes random pills and drinks more than is good for her\, but doesn’t inject anything except\, when she remembers\, estrogen\, because she’s trans. Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up\, sending Maria into a tailspin\, and then onto a cross-country trek in the car she steals from Steph. She ends up in the backwater town of Star City\, Nevada\, where she meets James\, who is probably but not certainly trans\, and who reminds Maria of her younger self. As Maria finds herself in the awkward position of trans role model\, she realizes that she could become James’s savior–or his downfall. \n\n\n\nOne of the most beloved cult novels of our time and a landmark of trans literature\, Imogen Binnie’s Nevada is a blistering\, heartfelt\, and evergreen coming-of-age story\, and a punk-smeared excavation of marginalized life under capitalism. Guided by an instantly memorable\, terminally self-aware protagonist–and back in print featuring a new afterword by the author–Nevada is the great American road novel flipped on its head for a new generation.
