Nevada's afterword, pt2
Aside from stuff I knew, like Binnie is friends with Sybil Lamb and Casey Plett, this afterword's look at Topside is cool and fascinating. I wasn't sure how close all the people at the label were, like if they were just associated or w/e but Binnie definitely knows who Ryka Aoki is, which is wild. Binnie asks the reader:
Have you read Janet[Mock], Ryka[Aoki], Torrey Peters, Casey Plett, Vivek Shraya, Jackie Ess, or Charlie Jane Anders?
Yes, Imgoen Binnie, I know 6/7 of those names and have read 4/7. This is your fault inadvertently grrrrrrr The PRAISE FOR ORANGE BOOK segment is a Who's Who as well, Torrey Peters and Andrea Lawlor, also Rachel Pollack, how phenomenally rare. Very cool.
Binnie says she doesn't think Nevada is ground zero for trans literature but bitch, yes it fucking is. There are a few prior books like Luna or Being Emily, written usually by cis people trying to do the trans-memoir "you wouldnt be so mean if you saw all the pain I endured!" shtick, so fuck that. A couple of examples of the form also probably represent convergent evolution, like I've Got A Time Bomb by Sybil Lamb or Maxine Wore Black by Nora Olsen or indeed Otros Valles by Jamie Berrout. Nevada is where it fucking happened though, Nevada set the tone for like every subsequent piece of transfem fiction and probably some of the transmasc ones too? IMO every piece of trans fiction ever owes its existence to Orange Book Bad. I'm not even sorry.
I half expected to see Jamie Berrout mentioned in here though, where is she? Berrout continues to be the missing piece of the Topside story. Which fucking figures tbh.
Missed yesterday's fun song so today I'm doing two!
Mindphaser by Front Line Assembly — I'm trying to get more into EBM and damn this song is good. I heard it on a mix from a podcast I discovered today called Gothic Industrial Music. Definitely going to listen more to this band and to that podcast.
I Care About You by Zig Zag — catchy as all hell modern queercore. Songs to shout along to.
