"One writer's deeply compelling story of growing up nonbinary in West Virginia the 1940s and 50s--a time and place where the word "nonbinary" didn't exist. Keith Maillard ties together his experiences with gender and the gender binary with his origins and preoccupations as a writer (now one of Canada's most celebrated writers, with fourteen novels under his belt). A timely, accessible, and wonderfully evocative memoir."-- Provided by publisher.
