When A Guy Has

Hi all. It's been a while. I've missed you. The show is new. Things are different. There's a co-host now (s/o Roxy, she's great). There won't be guests until there are again. We'll be discussing City of Night by John Rechy next week, alongside, likely, at least: Esther Newton's Mother Camp, Jules Gill-Peterson's A Short History of Transmisogyny.

Jolene is joined by James Frankie Thomas to discuss his life, his transition, and his novel, Idlewild. Topics include: bookstores, the quality of desire both on and off T, divorce, the Animorphs, and, of course, the fetishization of gay men. The intro and outro music is by Lynn July.
