The Slow Fix by Ivan E. Coyote
is a collection of funny, touching, real stories about growing up and living gender-queer in modern Northern Canada. Her writing is disarming, touching, memorable and universally appealing, and draw heavily on her own experiences as a masculine, small town lesbian. She's been compared to kd lang - only with books, instead of music - and I definitely get the same 'feel' from her.
