{"product_id":"stone-butch-blues","title":"Stone Butch Blues","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Stone Butch Blues,\" Leslie Feinberg’s 1993 first novel, is considered in and outside the U.S. to be a groundbreaking work about the complexities of gender. Feinberg was the first theorist to advance a Marxist concept of “transgender liberation.” Sold by hundreds of thousands of copies, passed hand-to-hand inside prisons, the novel has been translated into Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Slovenian, Turkish, and Hebrew--with earnings from that edition going to ASWAT Palestinian Gay Women--and won the 1994 American Library Association Stonewall Book Award and 1994 Lambda Literary Award. Feinberg said in hir Author’s Note to the 2003 edition: \"Like my own life, this novel defies easy classification. If you found 'Stone Butch Blues' in a bookstore or library, what category was it in? Lesbian fiction? Gender studies? Like the germinal novel 'The Well of Loneliness' by Radclyffe \/ John Hall, this is a lesbian novel and a transgender novel—making ‘trans’ genre a verb, as well as an adjective.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philly AIDS Thrift @ Giovanni's Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51464432615719,"sku":"sku-51501812646199","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/3673\/1687\/files\/StoneButchBlues.jpg?v=1780682957","url":"https:\/\/www.lgbtqoutpost.com\/products\/stone-butch-blues","provider":"LGBTQ Outpost","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
