COMING OF AGE & COMING OUT – FICTION & MEMOIR

Cactus Country: A Boyhood Memoir captures ZOË BOSSIERE’s experience as a trans child growing up in an Arizona trailer park. As they reckon with the sexism, racism, substance abuse, and violence endemic to the traditionally masculine, working-class men in their life, they struggle to escape what it means to live in a gendered body. In EMMA COPLEY EISENBERG’s Housemates: A Novel, two new roommates begin an intense friendship. When one woman receives a complicated inheritance from a former professor, they take a road trip to his home, on the way meeting people from all walks of life and trying to make sense of the times they live in. And in AUGUST THOMPSON’s Anyone’s Ghost: A Novel, the transforming love and friendship of two young men during an unforgettable teenage summer in New England haunts them into adulthood.
