Rebent Sinner by Ivan Coyote

Very taken with their voice, their history, their perspective on history. Do I need to read more? I don't know, but I'm glad I read this.

The question of, "who are my elders" has very much stuck with me since reading this, along with Kai Cheng Thom's "I Hope We Choose Love".

In Rebent Sinner, Ivan Coyote describes themselves as a a heart-storyteller, like their friend Richard Wagamese. These are their stories. Short, profound, funny, touching, thought-provoking essays. You will be moved.
“Being trans is a part of me, and of course it informs how I view my place in the world, and I’m well aware of the fact that it is THE thing about me for some people, but for me it’s just one of the things that I am. I’m a Yukoner.  I’m am a fan of Scandinavian crime novels. I can only eat bananas if they are still a little bit green. I’m ambidextrous.  Is that a metaphor, or maybe foreshadowing I’m also a storyteller.”
