I really enjoy this style of a kind of fictional autobiography. I wasn't so much a fan of the more symbolic passages when we stepped away from the overall narrative, but I understand what they were trying to do. I think this would be a good introduction to queer biographies as it's neither overly explicit in it's queerness, nor overly 'real' in its biographical content.
