Side B finds Tracy in 2019, now a semi-famous musician, in the same strange city, healing from a traumatic event through songwriting, queer kinship, and sexual pleasure.

Side A is a snapshot of her life from 1993, when Tracy is a fledgling artist finding her voice and people in a labyrinthine city. Cyr that reveals how the act of creation can heal trauma and even change the past. Now back in print after a long absence, this new edition includes an afterword by the author that reflects on trans writing and representation in our current political climate.Īnd Any Other City, Hazel Jane Plante’s much-anticipated follow-up novel to Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian), is a two-sided fictional memoir by trans indie rock musician Tracy St. Scroll down for the lowdown!Ī Safe Girl to Love, the debut short story collection that launched the career of two-time Lambda Literary Award–winning author Casey Plett, features eleven unique and vivid stories that chronicle the messy, beautiful lives of 20-something trans women stumbling through loss, sex, harassment, and love, in settings ranging from a rural Mennonite town to a hipster gay bar in Brooklyn. Word on the street is some special guests may also join the bill for a story or two. Do you live in (or a stone’s throw from) Toronto, New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Madison, Calgary, or Vancouver? If you answered yes, well, hot dog, you’re in for a real doozy! Literary live wires Casey Plett & Hazel Jane Plante are celebrating the re-release of A Safe Girl to Love and the release of Any Other City with a seven-city joint North American book tour! Plett & Plante is the tour’s name, and dazzling live audiences with wit and words is this dynamic duo’s game.
