Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor
This wildly imaginative and original novel follows the exploits of Paul Polydoris, who can (and frequently does) change gender at will. Set in the 1990s, s/he traipses through a variety of queer scenes, all described with plenty of smart social observation and sly wit. This makes for a fun romp, but one that will give you plenty to think about as well.
Milk Fed by Melissa Broder
An enduring and what can only be described as “wacky” story of how a neurotic, zaftig, conservative Jew with an eating disorder finds brief love in Los Angeles.
The End of Eddy by Edouard Louis
Louis writes with a moral force and searing clarity reminiscent of James Baldwin. This book speaks frankly about growing up as a fey, queer kid in a rightwing French town.
