Queer Book Club Sunday 20th April: None of the Above
For our April Queer Book Group we are reading the brilliant Travis Alabanza’s None of the Above, an exploration of an identity that does not fit any tick boxes and how society responds to that.
In None of the Above, Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them as a Black, mixed race, non-binary person. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary.
Through these seven phrases, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society, giving us reason to question the very framework in which we live and the ways we treat each other.
