The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen
The Magic Fish is a coming out and coming of age story about Tiên, the son of Vietnamese immigrants. While his mother speaks mostly Vietnamese, Tiên speaks mostly English. He reads fairy tales to his mother to help her understand what it means to be a young gay teenager in America, navigating two cultures, and aware of the dangers of being gay. Rich with imagery, sweet, and tender, this book is full of courage and hope.
Sexed Up: How Society Sexualizes Us, and How We Can Fight by Julia Serano
This book is a fascinating compilation of history, biology, and social observations. Julia Serano, known as the author of Whipping Girl, discusses the ways in which marginalized groups—LGBT and BIPOC folks, among them—are hypersexualized in the dominant narrative. Serano draws on her background as a biologist and longstanding bi-trans community activist to bring to light the ways in which shame can be a mechanism of control, and how we can reclaim our narratives.
Serano will be reading at Fabulosa for our Bi Visibility Day Party on 9/22 at 7 pm!
