And if you have a shady Rocky Horror past like me, get ABSOLUTE PLEASURE (@feministpress.bsky.social) ed. @margotatwell.bsky.social: "essays on the cult movie from a diverse spectrum of queer authors ... a complex celebration of those who figure out how to be what they once might only have dreamed."

EXOPHONY by Yoko Tawada is such a unique book on "the experience of living and writing in languages learned later in life. Tawada shows what an act of creativity this can be: proficiency is less important than uncovering some latent potential existing in the language." (from @ndbooks.bsky.social)

I FEEL FAMOUS by Angela Jaeger should BE famous. Her teenage diary from the late ‘70s in New York City/London "as the punk scene was exploding ... full of crushes, yearnings, complaints, and detailed accounts of nights spent running around with friends—ones with names like Iggy, Lux, Sid, & Lydia."

Another stunner I reviewed is PARADOXX by Kate Colby: "Whether pondering the philosophies of poets or recounting a childhood dream about the Hamburglar, Colby struggles with the impossibility of completely representing one’s self in words while finding it equally impossible not to keep trying."

The list is in alpha order by title so I'm going to post my reviews in reverse, starting with the epic WORTHY OF THE EVENT by @vivianblaxell.bsky.social from @littlepuss.net. "Sublime, shocking, witty, tender, crude, candid, and always smart as hell, this book is one wild and glorious ride."
