You all know that Roz Kaveney has a new novel out, right? Tiny Pieces of Skull is not fantasy. It is a fictionalized memoir based on Roz’s time as a young trans sex worker in Chicago in the 1970s. It is very good indeed, and has what might be my favorite last line of a book ever. Of course you do have to have a certain amount of interest in trans issues and feminism to appreciate it the way I do, but hopefully lots of people will like it.

Anyway, I was asked to do an interview with Roz for the Lambda Literary website. That’s now online, and it also links to a review of the book written by someone else (so you don’t need to take my word for it). Mostly Roz and I talk about how life has changed for trans folk between when the book was written and now. We also talk about why the book is dedicated to some chap called Neil Gaiman, of whom you might have heard.

Read. Enjoy. Go buy Roz’s book.
