Nevada

From punk ethos to self-discovery: a trans woman‘s transformative road trip across America. Maria, a thirty-something trans woman, is stuck in a rut. She spends her days working at a New York bookstore, struggling to stay true to her punk ideals while drowning her sorrows in alcohol and engaging in a string of unfulfilling sexual encounters. When her girlfriend cheats on her, Maria impulsively steals her car and sets off on a journey to the Pacific, embarking on her own unique version of the Great American Road Trip. In Reno, Nevada, she meets James, a young Wal-Mart employee in whom she sees echoes of her younger self. The two form an unlikely but profound connection that will have significant consequences for both of their lives. Nevada is a groundbreaking and hilarious cult classic from trans writer Imogen Binnie. This pioneering work of trans fiction has inspired a new literary movement and is now published in the UK for the first time as part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
