hey! definitely recommend you check out biography of x by catherine lacey, and her other works!
Oh yay, I will. Thank you!
Hi!! Here to recommend Jeanette Winterson! Haven't read it yet but Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit is her semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story of growing up as a lesbian. Meanwhile The Passion (which I love) has gender-bending and representation of bisexuality. Both books are critically acclaimed so they definitely fit the literary criteria.
Fantastic! Adding to the list (and my TBR!)
