The Letter Q
The Letter Q | James Lecesne, Sarah Moon
10 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
Life-saving letters from a glittering wishlist of top authors. If you received a letter from your older self, what do you think it would say? What do you wish it would say? That the boy you were crushing on in History turns out to be gay too, and that you become boyfriends in college? That the bully who is making your life miserable will one day become so insignificant that you won't remember his name until he shows up at your book signing? In this anthology, sixty-three award-winning authors such as Michael Cunningham, Amy Bloom, Jacqueline Woodson, Gregory Maguire, David Levithan, and Armistead Maupin make imaginative journeys into their pasts, telling their younger selves what they would have liked to know then about their lives as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgendered people. Through stories, in pictures, with bracing honesty, these are words of love and understanding, reasons to hold on for the better future ahead. They will tell you things about your favorite authors that you never knew before. And they will tell you about yourself.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 39 #bookstoread #tbrpile

@Peddler410 : Not enough trans authors, though.

Mehso-so

Good book overall, but damn there were like 2 trans contributors at MOST. Would recommend, even with that sore disappointment.

"Anyway, what you really are is Queer. Not 'queer' in the sense of 'a guy who only likes guys,' but queer as in the sense of being really, really different."
- Bruce Coville on his bisexuality

I've had this on my shelf for at least a year, finally getting around to reading it for #readharder essay anthology.
I'm especially looking forward to Bruce Coville's part, i loved him as a kid.

This is a great book full of hope and love. No matter how you identify, know that you are not alone and that you are loved.
