By Rachel Leon Verified| Chicago Review of Books Verified Yesterday I spent 50 cents to communicate with someone who is incarcerated. It was a cheap day. He gets one free video visit a week and, this week, he used it on me. I know his family is supporting him, putting money on his books, so I feel guilty each time I’m the one he uses his free visit on. But his family is typically working during the free video visit windows (Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 8am-4pm), and anyway, we’re friends now, he reminds me. I didn’t know him until three months ago.
By Rachel Leon Verified| Chicago Review of Books Verified Those of us who are big readers fall in love with books either because of how they’re written or what they’re saying—I loved Nicole Graev Lipson’s debut memoir in essays, Mothers and Other Fictional Characters, for both.

Here are 5 books by trans writers that are available to pre-order from your local indie bookstore or from our Bookshop.
