A Trans Man Walks Into a Gay Bar by Harry Nicholas

challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

The conversational narrative tone elevates this beautiful memoir to something like an artistic masterpiece. This is a perfect book for anyone interested to know what it means to be Trans, Gay, and figure all that out before/during/after the pandemic. Obviously because the pandemic is fairly recent, there's not many book out there (yet) that shares how COVID affected the LGBTQ+ community. It's an aspect that isn't talked much (even in person) and that is an aspect I want to see/hear more of. The exposure of 'Queerness' is an ongoing thing, and this novel will definitely bring light to elements of the community we don't visually see or are ignorant of. Harry openly shares his vulnerabilities and its both a hard, flourishing, and accessible story about self-acceptance and identity.
