Outside in my little corner of the world the sky is gray and rain has washed away five inches of snow to reveal the brown muck of dead grass and the last of autumn’s fallen leaves that I and others living on my block were too unbothered to rake. It’s a good occasion for drinking cups of something warm. A cup of Tazo’s Passion tea made with hibiscus, orange peel, licorice root, and lemongrass is in my reach. Hopefully you’re in an uplifted mood to celebrate your meaningful holidays and traditions. Looking ahead to February’s offerings…Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer returns to press with an annotated edition.

GENDER QUEER HC THE ANNOTATED EDITION $49.99
Maia Kobabe, Phoebe Kobabe, Justin Hall, Rani Som, Mel Gillman
Dig deeper into one of the most banned books in America with this annotated edition of Maia Kobabe’s seminal autobiographical work. In 2014, Maia Kobabe-who uses e/em/eir pronouns-thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Then e created Gender Queer. Maia’s intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fan fiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: It is a useful and touching guide on gender identity-what it means and how to think about it-for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere. This special annotated edition calls on voices from academic and creative communities to further shed light on Kobabe’s work-exploring the technicalities of comic creation, the history of the LGBTQIA+ community, and highlighting personal anecdotes from a host of writers and artists discussing their own experiences growing up queer. Featuring commentary from designer and animator Phoebe Kobabe, cartoonist Ashley R. Guillory, Dr. Sandra Cox, Matthew Noe, author Hal Schrieve, and many more, this beautiful hardcover edition promises to be a wonderful educational tool for years to come. 1225ON0921
