Jan 22nd, 2020 || 🌿my latest reads🌿 . 👉🏼 i'm afraid of men by Vivek Shraya. this little book (barely 80 pages) manages to pack so much into it. it’s all about Shraya’s experiences with men regarding her identity and her transition. it is very raw and honest. i have only one complain: i wish it were longer. rating: 8.5/10 . 👉🏼 ghachar ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag. another short one that again manages to “talk” about loads of stuff. first of all, shout out to the incredible translation by Srinath Perur because it truly doesn’t feel as if this novel was translated. the language just flows beautifully. the novel is basically about a family who goes from poverty to sudden wealth and how that affects them individually and collectively. Shanbhag commentary on money is spot on. rating: 7.5/10. . do yo know of any short novel that also manages to carry a lot of weight? • • • • #adayinbooklandreviews #ghacharghochar #imafraidofmen #vivekshraya #vivekshanbhag #literaryfiction #indianliterature #booksandcoffee #booksandblankets #bookish #bookrecommendations #unitedbookstagram #wednesdaybooks #januaryreads https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oSoOxojsq/?igshid=1q4cymnz971xi

I would give this book 4.5/5 stars 

Today's #SJComix365 is "Death Threat", a new release from Arsenal Pulp Press, by Vivek Shraya (Author), Ness Lee (Illustrator). In the fall of 2017, the acclaimed writer and musician Vivek Shraya began receiving vivid and disturbing transphobic hate mail from a stranger. Ness Lee brings these letters and Shraya's responses to them into a vivid, illuminated view, making 'Death Threat' a unique comic that, by its existence, becomes a compelling act of resistance. Through it we can better understand and explore the dangers of online accessibility and the ease with which vitriolic hatred can spread in the digital world. ✨ #deaththreat #comics #graphicnovels #vivekshraya #transphobia #harrassment #graphicmemoir #nessless https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaX0Dwghj6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=127brdykifmn0

#marchwrapup, a few days late because my momma was in town. As you can see, I’m doing well on my resolutions to use the library more/better (though most of these were impulse finds rather than holds) as well as to read more non-fiction. Not pictured is a kid’s biography of Lafayette that I checked out for my Hamilton-obsessed kids, and which they insisted I read as well. Somehow this has become my year of reading the Revolution, like last year turned into my year of reading the Civil War. I might as well go with it at this point. (The Invention of Air is about Joseph Priestly, who had a significant influence on several of the founding fathers.) . . #biographyofsilence #pablodors #imafraidofmen #vivekshraya #theblacktidesofheaven #jyyang #betweentheworldandme #tanehisicoates #theinventionofair #stevenjohnson #revenantgun #yoonhalee #thetitanscurse #rickriordan #thedesertsmellslikerain #garypaulnabhan #captainmarvel #kellysuedeconnick #abbott #saladinahmed #bookstack https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvwij8BHgnA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wypha79cmlzi

The gallery at The Ace Hotel has an amazing show by #vivekshraya called TRISHA. They restage photos of their Mother. The text that accompanies the photos ends with .”....I remind myself that the discomfort I feel is less about my body and more about what it means to be feminine in a world that is intent on crushing feminist in any form. Maybe I got my wish to you after all. You used to say that if you had a girl, you would have named her Trisha.” #trishaproject #acehotel #acehotelnyc @acehotelnyc https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCEs8iBlNy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b9suk9monnc
