Leslie Feinberg

Stone Butch Blues är Leslie Feinbergs första roman. Den utkom 1993 och blev snabbt en queer klassiker som cirkulerades i slitna och tummade exemplar bland revolutionära kommunister, transaktivister, fackföreningskämpar, politiska fångar och lesbiska utopister. Romanen följer Jess Goldberg, en ung butch som växer upp i Buffalo i nordöstra USA under 1960- och 1970-talet, och är en både rå och öm skildring av en lesbisk, queer- och transverklighet full av kärlek, motstånd, kamp, våld, gemenskap, ensamhet, smärta, hopp och queert liv. Ylva Emel Karlssons översättning är ett omsorgsfullt arbete där hon tonsäkert fångar textens nyanser och erfarenheter. Formgivaren Rasmus Eo Clarke har gett den fysiska boken både tyngd och ömhet i dialog och samklang med berättelsens sociala rörelser.

These 75 cupcakes have a kick - and they're not for kids! The product of Prohibition Bakery, a downtown hole in the wall, they're simply the best, the booziest treats in Manhattan. Each diminutive cake is a perfect, delicious balance of texture, flavour, and fragrance. That's why an astonishing variety of fans, from Food & Wine to Playboy, Newsweek, and Thrillist.com, have come together to heap praise upon bakers Brooke Siem and Leslie Feinberg for their creations. Make a "Dark & Stormy" (Gosling Rum, ginger beer, and lime), an "Old Fashioned" (whiskey, bitters, orange, and a whiskey-soaked cherry), or other cupcake and you'll become a convert from the very first bite.

A follow-up to Stone Butch Blues finds East Village bouncer-turned-bartender Max Rabinowitz struggling through a mid-life crisis in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, experiencing outrage at the wars in the Middle East, and rediscovering her activist spirit after the death of a cross-dresser friend.
