One of Vogue's Best Books of 2022 So Far, Buzzfeed's Summer Books You Won’t Be Able To Put Down, Book Riot's Best Summer Reads for 2022, and Dazed's Queer Books to Read in 2022 "[Nevada] is defiant, terse, not quite cynical, sometimes flip, addressed to people who think they know. It is, if you like, punk rock." —The New Yorker "Nevada is a book that changed my life: it shaped both my worldview and personhood, making me the writer I am. And it did so by the oldest of methods, by telling a wise, hilarious, and gripping story." —Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby A beloved and blistering cult classic and finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction finally back in print, Nevada follows a disaffected trans woman as she embarks on a cross-country road trip. Maria Griffiths is almost thirty and works at a used bookstore in New York City while trying to stay true to her punk values. She’s in love with her bike but not with her girlfriend, Steph. She takes random pills and drinks more than is good for her, but doesn’t inject anything except, when she remembers, estrogen, because she’s trans. Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up, sending Maria into a tailspin, and then onto a cross-country trek in the car she steals from Steph. She ends up in the backwater town of Star City, Nevada, where she meets James, who is probably but not certainly trans, and who reminds Maria of her younger self. As Maria finds herself in the awkward position of trans role model, she realizes that she could become James’s savior—or his downfall. One of the most beloved cult novels of our time and a landmark of trans literature, Imogen Binnie’s Nevada is a blistering, heartfelt, and evergreen coming-of-age story, and a punk-smeared excavation of marginalized life under capitalism. Guided by an instantly memorable, terminally self-aware protagonist—and back in print featuring a new afterword by the author—Nevada is the great American road novel flipped on its head for a new generation.

Thoroughly researched and beautifully produced, this catalogue complements the first comprehensive retrospective in the United States of Imogen Cunningham’s work in over thirty-five years. Celebrated American artist Imogen Cunningham (1883–1976) enjoyed a long career as a photographer, creating a large and diverse body of work that underscored her unique vision, versatility, and commitment to the medium. An early feminist and inspiration to future generations, Cunningham intensely engaged with Pictorialism and Modernism; genres of portraiture, landscape, the nude, still life, and street photography; and themes such as flora, dancers and music, hands, and the elderly. Organized chronologically, this volume explores the full range of the artist’s life and career. It contains nearly two hundred color images of Cunningham’s elegant, poignant, and groundbreaking photographs, both renowned and lesser known, including several that have not been published previously. Essays by Paul Martineau and Susan Ehrens draw from extensive primary source material such as letters, family albums, and other intimate materials to enrich readers’ understanding of Cunningham’s motivations and work.

I was inspired to write this book after watching my young granddaughter Imogen playing in my garden one summer. From an early age, Imogen began to show signs of having an extraordinary imagination. When in trouble with her grandma over small transgressions, she would quickly say that it was the naughty little elves in granddads garden that made her do these naughty things. Hearing this, I decided to place a few small elves, fairies, gnomes, and pixies in parts of my garden. I have to say that this idea really took off. Imogen began to invent really outlandish stories of the fun she was having in the garden with the naughty little elves. So much so that I began to add other little characters into the garden. As I began to write this book, I suddenly became as much of a child as my granddaughter. I began to create, in my head anyway, lots of different characters and the different things that they would get up to. Every time I would sit in front of my PC to write another story, I suddenly became a child once again. I found myself almost believing in the adventures that I was writing about. Not only was I beginning to believe in the adventures but I found myself being dragged into the stories. It was as if I was really there in Angle-Wing Forest with my granddaughter Imogen. When I had completed this collection of adventures in Fairy Land, I gave them to my granddaughter to read, and she loved them. So remember, people, if you can set aside all your adult thoughts and your adult ways for one day, then you just might enjoy the adventures in Angel-Wing Forest with your own beautiful children.
