Co-Edited by Ellis Martin and Zach Ozma “We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan” (Call #: B Su542a) narrates the inner life of a gay transgender man moving through the shifting social, political, and medical mores of the second half of the 20th century. Sullivan kept comprehensive journals from age 11 until his AIDS-related death at 39. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives. Entries from twenty-four diaries reveal Sullivan’s self-articulation and the complexity of a fascinating and courageous figure. -- source link
