Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving

By Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore

Book Overview

Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving goes beyond the recovery narrative to create a new queer literature of investigation, exploration, and transformation. Twenty-six stories illuminate the reality of growing up in fear, struggling to rebuild lives damaged by sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse. The book explores how abuse turns queer survivors into healers, heartbreakers, and homicidal maniacs, presenting brilliant stories that sear and soar.
