Finished 24 November 2024:
Corpses, Fools, and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema - Caden Mark Gardner & Willow Catelyn Maclay
Where many books that attempt to analyze texts and situate them historically fail to satisfy either task, Gardner and Maclay do a fine job of balancing both. I personally preferred the most analysis-rich sections and was particularly invested in the We Are All Going to the World's Fair and Silence of the Lambs discussions; however, the entire book was fantastic and presents a level of nuance I haven't seen in online conversations about these texts. I recommend it to anyone interested in trans representation in film, whether you read much scholarship or not.
