I was so happy when a bookseller put this in my hands, and appalled I hadn't heard of Rachel Pollack's work before. This collection is a just a brief glimpse into her body of work, covering fiction, memoir, and "The Beatrix Gates" which feels like a blend of the two, as well as an interview. Some of the work feels like a historical artifact as well as a story, capturing a very particular moment in trans culture. All in all, Pollack is a delight.
