Reading Bi was the first time I truly felt proud to be bisexual-I hope that pride shows up in Greedy too. I used to crave bi representation in mainstream pop culture, and while that’s still critical, I had no idea academic queer theory could have such a profound effect on me. Shiri positions bisexuality as a radical political identity, highlighting that it inherently challenges so many dominant systems and assumptions about the way the world works. JW: If I’m going to flatter myself, I’d say Shiri Eisner’s Bi: Notes For A Bisexual Revolution. I’m like a broken record with how much I plug this book (even within my own book!), but Bi immensely shifted my perception of bisexuality.
I learn something new every time I open it.īM: What book do you think your book is most in conversation with? On top of all that, it reimagines the genre of memoir, and does so effortlessly.
I own it in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook (I had reasons for all of them, I swear). This book is such a powerful rumination on queer relationships and sexism, as well as what emotional abuse looks like through both of those lenses. JW: I hardly ever re-read books, with one exception: In the Dream Houseby Carmen Maria Machado.
