## Description

A queer cult favourite, ''The Beatrix Gates'' is a colourful mix of science fiction, magical realism, memoir, and myth exploring themes of spirituality and transformation. Courage and cowardice contend in a literary odyssey unlike any other. Written especially for this volume, ''Trans Central Station'' is Pollack''s personal and political take on the transgender experience then and now - and tomorrow? ''Burning Beard'' is a fiercely revisionist Bible tale of plague and prophecy told through a postmodern prose of many colours. ''The Woman Who Didn''t Come Back'' is about just what it says. And there is of course our usual unusual Outspoken Interview.
