Am Ende erklärt Rae den Gender Ruhestand. Neben dem Text von Rae Spoon und den Kommentaren von Tija gibt es in dieser Episode auch nochmal Phu Nguyen zu hören. Das Buch "Goodbye Gender" ist die Übersetzung des Originaltitels "Gender Failure", die Autor_innen sind Rae Spoon und Ivan E. Coyote. Das Buch ist bei w_orten und meer erschienen und im Buchhandel erhältlich.
Wir kehren aus der Sommerpause zurück, und widmen uns endlich mal wieder der Kunst, aber zugleich auch einer trans und nicht-binären Geschichte: Im Buch "Goodbye Gender" (im englischen Original "Gender Failure") erzählen die Künstlx, Musikx und Autorx Rae Spoon und Ivan E.

Im Podcast wenden wir uns der ersten Hälfte der Geschichte von Rae zu, die hier in Auszügen gelesen wird - natürlich wie immer kommentiert von Tija. Den zweiten Teil gibt es in der nächsten Folge, also abonniert wenn ihr es nicht eh schon getan habt, damit ihr sie nicht verpasst!

It's June, time to celebrate Pride privately and publicly. Host Meg Wolitzer presents four works that delve into the complexities of love, family and belonging. Ivan E. Coyote's “No Bikini,” read by Becca Blackwell, offers one child's act of quiet rebellion. Lovers drift together, and apart, in Michael Cunningham's “Sleepless,” read by Mike Doyle. A newish couple faces harsh weather in Deesha Philyaw's “Snowfall,” read by Michelle Beck, and poet Kay Ulanday Barrett shares their “Song for the Kicked Out.”
Guest host Cynthia Nixon presents stories about the family dynamics between children and parents. It's never too early to defy gender norms, as Ivan E. Coyote confides in "No Bikini," read by Becca Blackwell. A woman confronts her mother's aging, and her own childlessness, in Kathryn Chetkovich's tender story "The World with My Mother Still In It," read by Phillipa Soo. And three generations are "At the Zoo," in a story by Caitlin Horrocks: a rowdy grandpa, a sensitive child, and a mother caught between the two. The reader is Kate Walsh.

In our first genre for 2017 we take on Coming-of-Age books! We discuss whether coming-of-age needs to be about teenagers, whether it needs to be fiction, and what happens if characters never age. Plus: Alliterative authors, our inability to pronounce the word bildungsroman (among other words…), and a brand new type of audio problem.

WORD Christchurch Festival, 28 August 2016 In the words of one newspaper, Ivan E. Coyote ‘is to Canadian literature what K.D. Lang is to country music: a beautifully odd fixture’. A seasoned performer and audience favourite at festivals worldwide, Ivan often grapples with the complex and intensely personal issues of gender identity, as well as family, class, social justice and queer liberation, but always with a generous heart, a quick wit and the nuanced and finely honed timing of a gifted raconteur. In this session, Ivan shares stories and chats with poet and comedian Sophie Rea. Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.
