Cecilia Gentili

"A rich and moving epistolary memoir about transgender childhood, sexual trauma, motherhood, and a young queer life in 1970s Argentina. In these hilarious and heartbreaking letters, Cecilia Gentili reinvents the trans memoir, putting the confession squarely between the writer and her enemies, paramours and friends. Writing to childhood figures such as her rapist's daughter, her father's mistress, her best friend, and her mother, Gentili probes deeply into the bitter cruelty, buried secrets, and delicious gossip of a small town. Is she here for revenge, or forgiveness? Both! And more! A story of sex, theft, murder, motherhood, and outrageous fashion choices, Faltas is a beautiful, messy meditation on what it takes to heal, and even grow."--Publisher's description.

Sinister Wisdom 128: Trans/Feminisms features writing and artwork by folks across the gender spectrum, including trans, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, two-spirit, gender-nonconforming, and intersex. We celebrate writers and artists who trouble gender. What perspectives do trans lives bring to the field of feminist thought and practice? What does it mean to hold a conversation about being trans? What does it mean to be a part of that conversation? How do the crossroads of difference affect the conversation? Sinister Wisdom 128: Trans/Feminisms is dedicated to exploring and celebrating transness. Included work appeals to and from transness in a range of mediums: interdisciplinary, genre-bending poetry, fiction, transcribed interviews, manifestos, essays, historical and theoretical deep dives, comic strips, visual art, photography, oral histories, speeches, intergenerational conversations, and collaborations.
