Meer over het boek

Exploring the complexities of identity and sexuality, the narrative unfolds through Tristan Taormino's unique upbringing, shaped by a close bond with her queer father and a single mother on Long Island. Influenced by 1980s pop culture and formative experiences at drag shows, her journey reveals the evolution of her sexual identity during her college years at Wesleyan University, where she embraced her attraction to butches and her interest in kink. The memoir highlights the intersection of personal and cultural influences in shaping her radical sexuality and career.
