Stone Butch Blues - Leslie Fineberg
Crying in H-Mart - Michelle Zauner
She's the singer for Japanese Breakfast, very interesting memoir touching on both BIPOC and queer experiences
Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl - Carrie Brownstein
She's one of the singers and guitarists for Sleater Kinney. She's bi and has very interesting experiences with her sexuality and connects to the being a public figure and having your sexuality put on display by other's will. She also talks a lot about punk / riot grrrl movements and culture in 1990s Olympia. It is really interesting to hear about feminist movements and organizations there from someone who was so active in it.
Zami: A New Spelling of My Name - Audre Lorde
She describes it as her biorthymography. It is excellent
Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal- Jeannette Winterson
Her memoir. It is the best book.
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous - Ocean Vuong
If I remember right, it is autobiographical. It describes his experiences growing up in the US as a gay second-generation immigrant from Vietnam. Vuong is a poet by trade, and this reads very lyrically.
The Trauma Cleaner - Sarah Krasnostein
It's a biography of Sandra Pankhurst that I haven't read, but I hear excellent things about.
