Eve: the new graphic novel from the award-winning author of Becoming Unbecoming
by UnaA powerful novel of mothers and daughters, and how we imagine our future, from acclaimed author of BECOMING UNBECOMING'This is a disturbing and necessary book for our times, because it leaves us with a question. In EVE, Una describes a society in crisis, a dystopia which grows ever more familiar as we turn the pages. The characters are people we know, their conversations are words we've heard, their fears and anxieties are our own. Una has held up a chilling mirror for us, and leaves us with a choice - what kind of world will we make for ourselves? It could go either way....' JACKY FLEMINGIn the near future, in a world that seems just like our own, Eve grows up in a loving family that is increasingly threatened by a society which seems to be sleepwalking into totalitarianism. After a catastrophe that changes everything, Eve must set off on her own, over the wild Yorkshire moors, to try to find a new way to live. Eve is a book of mothers, daughters, human relationships, trust and community, human weakness, conflict, hopeful futures and painful pasts. It is speculative fiction that feels incredible timely: Una explores the rise of authoritarianism on both the political right and left and imagines where it might all lead.
Always the Almost
by Edward UnderhillA trans pianist makes a New Year's resolution on a frozen Wisconsin night to win regionals and win back his ex, but a new boy complicates things in Edward Underhill's heartfelt debut YA rom-dram, Always the Almost.Sixteen-year-old trans boy Miles Jacobson has two New Year’s resolutions: 1) win back his ex-boyfriend (and star of the football team) Shane McIntyre, and 2) finally beat his slimy arch-nemesis at the Midwest’s biggest classical piano competition. But that’s not going to be so easy. For one thing, Shane broke up with Miles two weeks after Miles came out as trans, and now Shane’s stubbornly ignoring him, even when they literally bump into each other. Plus, Miles’ new, slightly terrifying piano teacher keeps telling him that he’s playing like he “doesn’t know who he is”—whatever that means.Then Miles meets the new boy in town, Eric Mendez, a proudly queer cartoonist from Seattle who asks his pronouns, cares about art as much as he does—and makes his stomach flutter. Not what he needs to be focusing on right now. But after Eric and Miles pretend to date so they can score an invite to a couples-only Valentine’s party, the ruse turns real with a kiss, which is also definitely not in the plan. If only Miles could figure out why Eric likes him so much. After all, it's not like he’s cool or confident or comfortable in his own skin. He’s not even good enough at piano to get his fellow competitors to respect him, especially now, as Miles. Nothing’s ever been as easy for him as for other people—other boys. He’s only ever been almost enough.So why, when he’s with Eric, does it feel like the only person he’s ever really not been enough for...is himself?
This Day Changes Everything
by Edward UnderhillDash & Lily meets Ferris Bueller's Day Off in Edward Underhill's new whirlwind rom-com about two queer teens who spend one life-changing day together in New York City. Abby Akerman believes in the Universe. After all, her Midwest high school marching band is about to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City—if that’s not proof that magical things can happen, what is? New York also happens to be the setting of her favorite romance novel, making it the perfect place for Abby to finally tell her best friend Kat that she’s in love with her (and, um, gay). She’s carefully annotated a copy of the book as a gift for Kat, and she’s counting on the Universe to provide an Epic Scene worthy of her own rom-com.Leo Brewer, on the other hand, just wants to get through this trip without falling apart. He doesn’t believe the Universe is magical at all, mostly because he’s about to be outed to his very Southern extended family on national TV as the trans boy he really is. He’s not excited for the parade, and he’s even less excited for an entire day of sightseeing with his band.But the Universe has other ideas. When fate throws Abby and Leo together on the wrong subway train, they soon find themselves lost in the middle of Manhattan. Even worse, Leo accidentally causes Abby to lose her Epic Gift for Kat. So to salvage the day, they come up with a new mission: find a souvenir from every location mentioned in the book for Abby to give Kat instead. But as Leo and Abby traverse the city, from the streets of Chinatown to the halls of Grand Central Station and the top of the Empire State Building, their initial expectations for the trip—and of each other—begin to shift. Maybe, if they let it, this could be the day that changes everything, for both of them.

The Drag Queen Anthology: The Absolutely Fabulous but Flawlessly Customary World of Female Impersonators
by Lisa UnderwoodExamine the cultural and political implications of male-to-female gender performance! The Drag Queen Anthology: The Absolutely Fabulous but Flawlessly Customary World of Female Impersonators examines the phenomena of male-to-female gender performance and the people who live it. This provocative collection of original essays explores the possibilities, limitations, ironies, and controversies surrounding men who perform as women to an audience that knows the truth but celebrates the illusion. The book&’s contributors call on extensive backgrounds in sociology, anthropology, theater, literature-even military studies-and use a variety of approaches to address common themes and genres of presentation, performance, and style in a wide range of historical settings and cultures. The Drag Queen Anthology explores female impersonation in the past and present, addressing the often-contradictory cultural impulses found in the performance of femininity. The book examines the important issues of this unique form of gendering, including the cultural and sociopolitical implications of drag, the symbolic cultural ideals associated with women, the impact of the performer&’s social identities on his performance, and the reactions of the GLBT, straight, and feminist communities to drag. The book looks at traditional drag performance, challenges accepted perceptions about female impersonation, and exposes the notion of the effeminate drag queen as an outdated myth. The Drag Queen Anthology examines the important issues of male-to-female gender performance, including: how drag queen performance is used to attain situational status and power how drag queens challenge contemporary notions of gender what embodiment occurs when men undertake performances of femininity how drag queen performance is viewed as a theatrical presentation of self what representations of drag queens in film suggest about current gender relations why communities organize around drag queen performers how drag queen performance differs on-stage and off how male-to-female gendered performance intersects with performances of sexual identity, social class, race, age, and ethnicity The Drag Queen Anthology: The Absolutely Fabulous but Flawlessly Customary World of Female Impersonators is an indispensable resource on drag&’s core elements of performance and parody and how each affects contemporary notions of gender.

Gay Men and Anal Eroticism: Tops, Bottoms, and Versatiles
by Steven G. UnderwoodGay men reveal their preference-and the reasons behind it! Gay Men and Anal Eroticism: Tops, Bottoms, and Versatiles is a no-holds-barred examination of one of society's most persistent taboos. In a remarkably candid collection of frank and forthright interviews, 21 gay men talk about the role anal sex plays in their lives and relationships and their choices to act as insertive ("top") or receptive ("bottom") partners-or both ("versatile"). Ranging in age from 21 to 65, the men discuss the reasons behind (and consequences of) their choices; how they define their sexual roles (and how those roles are defined by gay society); issues of power, trust, and vulnerability; and the concept (in both straight and gay society) that tops and bottoms are socially and morally unequal. These unique interviews, conducted by the author in the Boston and Provincetown areas, celebrate choice in gay men's sexuality while debating whether preference is genetically based or socially formed-a debate largely ignored in social science studies. The men interviewed-including gay porn icon Cole Tucker-discuss perceptions muddied by stereotypes, preconceived notions, and exaggerated scenarios, and the meanings gay men assign to anal sex, including dominance and submission roles related to masculine/feminine, aggressive/passive implications. The interviews also cover each subject's personal history as a gay man, safe sex in the AIDS era, childhood traumas, first-time sexual encounters, loves, desires, and obsessions. The interviews for Gay Men and Anal Eroticism provide insights that are equal parts thoughtful and outrageous, humorous and heartbreaking: Aaron, age 24: "I sort of fell into this image of myself as being a very aggressive bottom, a guy who knew what he wanted and who didn't want any wimps applying." Danny, 21: "There&’s a mindset about being a top ... it's kinda like maintaining the ship." Sam, 36: "I hate to say it, but I&’m a bottom ... I don&’t like to be identified like that because I feel it turns me into something all the way from my feet up to my head." Eddie, 42: "I guess I enjoy more being a top than a bottom because I haven't found a good top." and Cole Tucker: "A physical act doesn't really make you a top or a bottom. It's a function, an organic function of what you do. It's the dynamics of where you come from."The revealing disclosures of Gay Men and Anal Eroticism show equality in man-to-man sex to be as varied as the number of individuals who pursue it. Addressing traditional misunderstandings and misconceptions of gay men as either "limp-wrested fairies" or masculine "trade," the book uncovers that there is much more to this complex issue than personal preference.
Scientific Marvel: Poems
by Chimwemwe UndiMarked by rhythmic drive, humour, and surprise, Undi’s poems consider what is left out from the history and ongoing realities of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Firmly grounded in the local, the arresting poems in Chimwemwe Undi’s debut collection, Scientific Marvel, are preoccupied with Winnipeg in the way a Winnipegger is preoccupied with Winnipeg, the way a poet might be preoccupied with herself: through history and immigration; race and gender; anxieties and observation. Marked by rhythmic drive, humour and surprise, Undi’s poems consider what is left out from the history and ongoing realities of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and the west. Taking its title from a beauty school in downtown Winnipeg that closed in 2017 after nearly 100 years of operation, Scientific Marvel approaches the prairies from the point of view of a person who is often erased from the prairies’ idea of itself. “I mean my country the way / my country means my country / and what else is there to say? / I am bad and brown / and trying. Nothing here / belongs to me or could / or ever will.” This is poetry that touches on challenging topics—from queerness and colonialism to racism, climate rage, and decolonization, while never straying far from specific lived experience, the so-called ‘smaller’ questions: about self, art, dance parties and pop culture, relationships and love.
Before Wilde: Sex between Men in Britain's Age of Reform
by Charles UpchurchThis book examines changing perceptions of sex between men in early Victorian Britain, a significant yet surprisingly little explored period in the history of Western sexuality. Looking at the dramatic transformations of the era--changes in the family and in the law, the emergence of the world's first police force, the growth of a national media, and more--Charles Upchurch asks how perceptions of same-sex desire changed between men, in families, and in the larger society. To illuminate these questions, he mines a rich trove of previously unexamined sources, including hundreds of articles pertaining to sex between men that appeared in mainstream newspapers. The first book to relate this topic to broader economic, social, and political changes in the early nineteenth century, Before Wilde sheds new light on the central question of how and when sex acts became identities.

Auf & Davon
by Madeleine Urban Abigail Roux Feliz FaberBuch 1 in der Serie - Ty & ZaneEine Serie von Morden in New York City setzt FBI und Polizei gleichermaßen unter Druck. Hinter allen Morden wird ein einzelner Täter vermutet, der eine kryptische Botschaft zu senden scheint. Doch durch die Ermordung der beiden FBI-Agenten, die mit den Ermittlungen befasst waren, wird der Fall für das FBI zur höchsten Priorität. Dass sein letzter Fall ein Fehlschlag wurde, lag nicht an Special Agent Ty Grady; er ist zwar großspurig und aggressiv, aber unbestreitbar der Beste in seinem Job. Dennoch wird er von der verdeckten Ermittlung abgezogen und stattdessen mit der Aufklärung der New Yorker Morde betraut. Zwischen ihm und seinem neuen Partner Special Agent Zane Garrett ist es Hass auf den ersten Blick. Garrett ist ein FBI-Agent wie aus dem Bilderbuch: ernst, nüchtern und konzentriert. Als Partner sind sie unvereinbare Gegensätze, sprichwörtlich der gute und der böse Bulle--das klassische ungleiche Paar. Beiden ist sofort klar, dass ihre Partnerschaft ein größeres Hindernis für den Erfolg ihrer Ermittlungen darstellen wird als die Tatsache, dass der Mörder so gut wie keine Spuren hinterlässt. Noch ehe ihr Spezialauftrag richtig begonnen hat, schlägt der Mörder erneut zu--aber diesmal greift er seine Verfolger direkt an, und plötzlich werden die Jäger selbst zu Gejagten. Grady und Garrett werden ihre Differenzen überwinden und zusammenarbeiten müssen, um nicht zu den nächsten Opfern des Mörders zu werden.

Die beiden FBI-Agenten verbindet inzwischen beruflich wie privat eine feste Beziehung voll unerschütterlicher Loyalität und glühender Leidenschaft. Diesmal führt ein Undercover-Einsatz sie auf eine weihnachtliche Kreuzfahrt durch die Karibik, wo sie - getarnt als schwules Ehepaar - gegen einen internationalen Schmugglerring ermitteln sollen.

Um überzeugend als Edelganoven aufzutreten, müssen Ty und Zane ihr Verhalten grundlegend ändern. Das verlangt ihnen einiges ab - und nicht nur, weil der Einsatz sich als frustrierendes Geduldsspiel erweist. Doch erst die Auswirkungen des Falles auf ihr Privatleben machen ihnen klar, dass zu einer Partnerschaft mehr gehört als sich gegenseitig Rückendeckung zu geben. Da nimmt der Fall eine unerwartete Wendung, und plötzlich schwebt Ty buchstäblich in Lebensgefahr. Er und Zane müssen jetzt ganz behutsam navigieren. Denn nicht nur die See birgt viele kleine Lügen und große Geheimnisse, an denen sie kentern könnten.
