Book description
A darkly comic, introspective debut collection that looks beneath the surface of trans life in 2010s SeattlePeople called it paradise, but baby, it wasn't. What to do when starting testosterone unlocks a newfound desire for men? How to respond when your boss's boss asks if you've had "the surgery" and then requests you talk her niece out of transitioning? What obligation do you have to intervene in the faltering mental health of the baby trans drug dealer you've met only once while tripping on the acid he sold you?The young transmasculine characters in Crawl navigate these and other questions in the dive bars, bathhouses, parks, workplaces, music venues, beaches, and college campuses of 2010s Seattle. Max Delsohn's stories-by turns exuberant, heartfelt, tragic, and wry-portray the pleasures and pains of sex and romance, the possibilities and ambivalences of gender expression, and the joys and failures of community in a city and a time that has branded itself a radical queer utopia but proves much more complicated in reality.
