Confessions of the Fox par Jordy Rosenberg
Ambitious, weird, mind-stretching in the best ways, self-indulgently horny in a way I frankly delight in, very funny, very hopeful.
2018. Jack Shepard, the real person on whom Mack-the-Knife was based, is a master thief and jailbreaker. He’s also trans in 18th century London. This novel attempts to somewhat decolonize its era, having more queers, and sex workers, and being distinctly anti police. At the same time it is a rollicking good tale. Top surgery is certainly gory, and testosterone perhaps somewhat far-fetched, but I liked it.
If you ever wished someone would magically transform all those queer & critical theory books into one juicy sexy funny anti-capitalist/anti-colonialist/anti-racist, gender queer, muff diving novel, your wish has been granted.
Loved it, obv.

This novel is doing A LOT, and it takes guts to attempt something this experimental. I'm happy I found this novel, even happier I read it, and mostly happy that there is an author just crazy and brave enough to write it.
I don't think I'm the author's idea audience - to me, it seems clear he is writing primarily for fellow trans folks, and the rest of us are just lucky to be listening it. It's part history, part social commentary, part collective catharsis, and I enjoyed the heck out of it even when I'm pretty sure I didn't always understand it.
This novel is not like anything else I've read in a long time, and I'm pretty sure I'm better for the reading.… (plus d'informations)
