Articoli correlati a First Spring Grass Fire
Transgender indie electronica singer-songwriter Rae Spoon has six albums to their credit, including 2012’s I Can’t Keep All of Our Secrets. This first book by Rae (who uses "they" as a pronoun) is a candid, powerful story about a young person growing up queer in a strict Pentecostal family in rural Canada.
The narrator attends church events and Billy Graham rallies faithfully with their family before discovering the music that becomes their salvation and means of escape. As their father's schizophrenia causes their parents' marriage to unravel, the narrator finds solace and safety in the company of their siblings, in their nascent feelings for a girl at school, and in their growing awareness that they are not the person their parents think they are. With a heart as big as the prairie sky, this is a quietly devastating, heart-wrenching coming-of-age book about escaping dogma, surviving abuse, finding love, and risking everything for acceptance.
Rae Spoon lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Recensione:
"As their father's schizophrenia tears away at their parents' marriage, Rae begins to realise that they don't fit into the gender binary as neatly as they thought they did. Complete with themes of music and religion, First Spring Grass Fire is an honest, hopeful coming-of-age novel." --The Guardian
