None of the Above

Profound and funny' SHON FAYE'Will challenge, empower and move your soul' Glamour'Lucid and glorious' YRSA DALEY-WARD__________In None of the Above, Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them as a Black, mixed race, non-binary person. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary. Through these seven phrases, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society, giving us reason to question the very framework in which we live and the ways we treat each other.

Queer Square Mile

In these stories gender refuses to be fixed: a dashing travelling

companion is not quite who he seems in the intimate darkness of a

mail coach, a girl on the cusp of adulthood gamely takes her father's

place as head of the house, and an actor and patron are caught up in

dangerous game-playing. In the more fantastical tales there are talking

rats, flirtations with fascism, and escape from a post-virus 'utopia'.

These are stories of sexual awakening, coming out and redefining one's

place in the world.
