GIVING A VOICE
There is definitely space for more minority representation in the literary scene, and Gabby Rivera's refreshingly raw coming-of-age novel Juliet Takes A Breath is a good kick-off point.
ABOUT THE BASICS
Asking For It: The Alarming Rise of Rape Culture — And What We Can Do About It, by Kate Harding, confronts consent, politics, trolls and police accountability. A mandatory read.
DELVING INTO THE TIMES
In I Must Be Living Twice: New and Selected Poems, Eileen Myles takes you through four decades worth of trying to understand humans and cultures, with her brand of hilarity and criticism.
NOT SAFE FOR HOME
A book covering many aspects of female sexuality, Allison Moon’s Girl Sex 101, might give your Asian parents an aneurysm, so maybe don’t leave this one lying around.
