Recs if you like Inferno (A Poet's Novel)...

Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

my attempt at collecting queer books so our history doesn't become lost + to hopefully interest others within it too.

*please note I'd love recommendations on works i may have missed!!

A German word for a novel following the growth and maturing throughout a feminine artist's whole life, not just a coming of age! Often semi- or fully autobiographical. I discovered this word through a poem by Ocean Vuong and finding the feminization of the word! please feel free to suggest more! and i am use the word feminine here not as a direct antonym to masculinity (boy vs girl), but rather an exploration of stories outside of the cisgender male artists' stories.

The best of autofiction - all the humor, drama, and introspection!

Inspired by Autostraddle's Queer Books Across America list
