Blood, Marriage, Wine & Glitter

The third collection by this celebrated trans essayist who sheds necessary (and humorous) light on gender, sexuality, and family. Moving, witty, and wise, S. Bear Bergman is an acclaimed writer and lecturer who travels regularly across North America to speak on trans issues. In his third essay collection, Bear tackles the concept of the 'modern family' as one of two trans parents of a young son; in Bear's extended family 'orchard', drag sisters, leather mentors, sperm-donor parents and other relations provide more branches of love and support than a mere family tree. Blood, Marriage, Wine & Glitter is a thought-provoking collection that redefines the notion of what family is and can be.
