This program is read by the author. "Nevada is a book that changed my life: it shaped both my worldview and personhood, making me the writer I am. And it did so by the oldest of methods, by telling a wise, hilarious, and gripping story." -Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby A beloved and blistering cult classic and finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction finally back in print, Nevada follows a disaffected trans woman as she embarks on a cross-country road trip. Maria Griffiths is almost thirty and works at a used bookstore in New York City while trying to stay true to her punk values. She's in love with her bike but not with her girlfriend, Steph. She takes random pills and drinks more than is good for her, but doesn't inject anything except, when she remembers, estrogen, because she's trans. Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up, sending Maria into a tailspin, and then onto a cross-country trek in the car she steals from Steph. She ends up in the backwater town of Star City, Nevada, where she meets James, who is probably but not certainly trans, and who reminds Maria of her younger self. As Maria finds herself in the awkward position of trans role model, she realizes that she could become James's savior-or his downfall. One of the most beloved cult novels of our time and a landmark of trans literature, Imogen Binnie's Nevada is a blistering, heartfelt, and evergreen coming-of-age story, and a punk-smeared excavation of marginalized life under capitalism. Guided by an instantly memorable, terminally self-aware protagonist-and featuring a new afterword by the author-Nevada is the great American road novel flipped on its head for a new generation. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.… (mehr)

Nevada von Imogen Binnie (2013)

  1. 00
    Dora: A Headcase von Lidia Yuknavitch (circumspice)
    circumspice: Readers who enjoy Binnie's attitude and style in Nevada will probably also want to pick up Yuknavitch's Dora. The protagonist is younger--and, while she's queer, she's also cisgender--so dealing with a different set of issues, but her voice reminds me of what Maria's might have been as a teenager.… (mehr)

this will definitely... maybe, become one of my comfort books. Maybe Whatever Yes Sure Fine Yes Whatever Sure. i've never felt so –ironically– homey reading a book. almost highlighted the entirety of it. but, the emptiness, unknowingness that left me :-( ( )

Reminded me a lot of Junk, which isn't really aimed at adults... but this book seems to mean a great deal to a great number of people, so that's something. ( )

A must-read! A raw story about confronting your identity including the not-so-pretty parts. Binnie shows us a beautiful point of view of the internal struggles of finding one's true gender and identity. Although not every trans person has the same experiences I still felt very seen by this book. ( )

This book is really sad not in like the crying your eyes out sense or at least not for me but just like the deep feeling of alienation and distance and what can you do really.

The ending kind of turned this for me from 4 to 5 stars. Like how nothing really happened from this chance meeting - maybe they'll both come away with a greater understanding of things, maybe nothing will change. Who knows. But this big thing Maria was building up in her head didn't happen. It's hard to break patterns and stuff

It feels very "internet" like there are a lot of references to livejournal and myspace (wow haha) and just in general sentiment and it's very like relatable in that sense for me. Sometimes it feels annoyingly self aware sometimes it's like... self aware about it being like that and it works out. Also there's a lot about drugs and it's wild. And in general I dunno if people actually live like the people do in this book but I think that's probably because I'm an ignorant child.

I dunno. I'm having trouble talking about how I feel about it. I didn't have the same like trans feelings I know a lot of people did but the emotional stuff and the trouble with relationships and alienation all felt pretty close to home and really well described and powerful. I dunno. I completely understand how the style of this book could put people off too it's definitely v personal and conversational and coming from a v particular place but it worked for me. Anyway yeah sorry this is so incoherent ( )

deeply related to the main character with her thoughts, ideologies, and gender relations. i felt like the author was ahead of her time with how she displayed trans characters. ended up crying a few times throughout the book. ( )

She's choking me. She's really in there, fingers on cartilage, mashing my trachea and I can't breathe, Maria thinks. She truly can't breathe, but she can't bring herself to care. There was a time in her life when this was new, when she was at least as hot for being choked as Steph was for choking her, but now they've got an apartment together - a cat, good lighting - and Maria can't even muster a shiver. -Chapter 1
