Book description
Longlisted for The Story Prize & the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection A fearless collection of stories that celebrate the humor, darkness, and depth of emotion of the queer and trans experience that's not typically represented: liminal or uncertain identities, queer conception, and queer joy In this exuberant, prize-winning collection, queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming characters seek love and connection in hilarious and heartrending stories that reflect the complexity of our current moment. A nonbinary writer on the eve of top surgery enters into a risky affair during the height of COVID. A lesbian couple enlists a close friend as a sperm donor, plying him with a potent rainbow-colored cocktail. A lonely office worker struggling with their gender identity chaperones their nephew to a trans YouTube convention. And in the depths of a Midwestern winter, a sex-addicted librarian relies on her pet ferrets to help resist a relapse at a wild college fair. Capturing both the dark and lovable sides of the human experience, Rainbow Rainbow establishes debut author Lydia Conklin as a fearless new voice for their generation.

I've started a book club with my friends, and this app has been our go-to source for titles. Chapters, configurable auto-rewind, and bookmarks on ListenBook keep me in control of my content. Binaural audio processing reduces fatigue during long listening sessions. A fantastic feature! I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
