No Never reviewed Tiny Pieces of Skull by Roz Kaveney
Amazingly written book on 70s trans street life
5 stars
I picked this one up thanks to transfemreview.com and I am glad to have done so. I loved the prose and all of the imperfect, sometimes annoying and very human trans women in this book; loved reading about them whoring, living and doing smaller and bigger crimes. Some horrid assault in these stories too, but without feeling like the trauma porn many trans stories become, or made less serious than it is. The book somewhat reminded me of the "dangerous stories" intro to Kai Cheng Thom's "Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars", and I love to read a dangerous story or five.
