I just finished reading Leslie Feinberg's
Drag King Dreams, which had been on my shelf for a while. At first, I was reluctant--because, having just read
Stone Butch Blues (yes, I was "behind" in my reading), I wasn't sure if my expectations were realistic. Anyhow, my first reaction was, "wow, this is poetic." But, really, I grew to love the characters--and the message; I sincerely recommend this book.
