![]() ![]() ![]() I’m not saying celebs can’t fall in love with “normal” people, they can, I just don’t think it would be possible under these circumstances. Conversely, I don’t find it believable at all that this big star could fall in love with her in that time frame while barely knowing anything about her at all. A breezy, addictive romanceI couldn’t put it downRachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk Funny You Should Ask is a smart, sensitive story full of love and longingnot to mention a totally swoonworthy hero. I find it incredibly hard to believe that Chani could fall in love with the real Gabe – not the one she’s built up in her head thanks to her crush – in three days. Funny You Should Ask is the kind of fascinating, intimate character study that feels like reading about real people. They spent a collective three days together, ~something happened~, and then they never spoke again. Chani hangs onto her fantasy and celeb crush on Gabe, to the point where I feel she’s being delusional about how she feels and how she thinks Gabe feels about her. However, for Funny You Should Ask, it is not. I feel like that’s silly to say given the genre but a lot of contemporary romance novels have a level of believability – where under the perfect storm of certain circumstances, the story could happen in real life. I’ll be honest here and say that this premise is quite possibly one of the most unrealistic ones I’ve read. ![]() ![]() I also don’t say this to lament some lost online trans community, as much as digital rot is real and a problem. ![]() “What other random weirdos are out there making art we don’t yet know should exist, trans or otherwise?” Trans people are too varied for any book to be The Great Trans Novel, and Nevada is very specifically about young fuck-up white queer trans women - and everyone I know who responded to it usually fell into at least several of those categories. Now, to be clear: I don’t mean to say that Nevada spoke to every transsexual out there. This all happened despite little conventional book publicity, and this moment not only inspired my own writing, but has stayed with me forever when I consider what books can actually do. In 2014, when Sybil Lamb and I toured our own books for Nevada’s original publisher Topside Press, I’ve Got a Time Bomb and A Safe Girl to Love, Sybil would often say to majority-trans audiences: “Anyone know Imogen Binnie?” and the crowd would always cheer. ![]() One girl threw the book onto the subway tracks because a scene made her so upset, then she immediately bought another copy. There was even an invite-only group called: “People Who Need to Talk About Nevada By Imogen Binnie.” There was fan art and fan fiction. My Facebook was wallpapered with exegeses of Maria and James H (the book’s other protagonist). They were communal in the most literal of ways. These reactions weren’t isolated from each other. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() coli warnings pulling romaine lettuce from supermarket shelves, The Body was a real delight to read.

Some may remember Colbert’s turn as a hilariously strict but uninformed history teacher in Strangers With Candy, but his rise to fame began on The Daily Show, where he continued to develop a character whose main idiosyncrasy was an upsetting lack of knowledge matched only by his unwillingness to acknowledge such a deficit. Winner of three Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Bill O’Reilly-esque news broadcasts, Colbert has authored I Am America (And So Can You!), allowing his particular brand of caricature to access yet another venue utilized by personality-driven politics. Stephen Colbert, the Johnathan Swift of cable programming and host of Comedy Central’s Colbert Report, has decided to grace the literary world with his modern-day satire. ![]() |
