Listen to us babble our way through our very first memoir - Fred: An Unbecoming Woman by Annie Krabbenschmidt!
Out today, June 3rd! Go get yourself a copy!
This debut book is half essay, half memoir, and wholey authentic. Annie Krabbenschmidt explores compulsory heterosexuality, womanhood, and perfection with astonishing wit and insight. Fred discusses coming of age in a time where Marriage Equality seemed like a distant fantasy, casual homophobia was extremely casual, and Twilight had everyone convinced stalking was the height of romance.
