Description
Nonbinary Life is an invitation to imagine the possibilities of life outside of gender.
To write, to think, to imagine, to agitate, and to love without regard for gender is what might be called a nonbinary way of life. In this genre-defying work of autotheory, Marquis Bey proposes a radical refusal: to relinquish gender as a framework we carry – for ourselves and for others – and to embrace modes of being that exist outside of its grasp. What if we no longer let gender be a way of organizing ourselves?
Spanning the question of pronouns, masculinity, love, family, language, and even the Redwood National Forest, Nonbinary Life blends memoir and theory to provide a robust and personal treatment of what it means to live beyond the binary.
