"When I want to open a window for a clear view of struggles here in the U.S. and around the world, I go to leftbooks.com. I've bookmarked leftbooks.com because it's where I go to get gifts for my friends that are meaningful; that deepen the dialogue between us. And as someone whose work involves writing books, leftbooks.com is my preferred online bookseller, because those activist folks—in cyberspace and in daily life—are working hard to change the world."—Leslie Feinberg
Night-shift trans workers in post-9/11 Manhattan struggle against imperialist war, police repression, racism and the round-up of Arab, Muslim and South Asian friends and neighbors.
Drag King Dreams takes readers on a thrilling new gender journey. Max Rabinowitz, a bouncer in an East Village drag club, is sleep-walking through life. But as war, racist profiling and trans-bashing explode, an amazing circle of co-workers and friends who defy gender and sex labels help Max awaken from dreams to action.
Leslie Feinberg's transgender classic, Stone Butch Blues, electrified readers in 1993. More than a decade later, Feinberg’s blockbuster novel is still being read across the U.S. and around the world.
"Through Feinberg's visually stimulating writing, Drag King Dreams is an incredibly truthful, spirit-emanating and poignant journey of self love and self truth-the truth of being one self no matter what society considers 'right' or 'wrong.'"
—Diyaa (Dred), Gender Illusionist, Artist
"The dreary dialectic of struggle-race, gender, class, nationalism-is here transformed through the lively dialogue of real people struggling in a post-9/11 New York City into a great galloping story. If the workers of the world read Leslie Feinberg's book, they just might unite!"
—Kate Clinton
