Trans books—a new thing, right? But what about all the gender crossing in ancient mythology and Shakespeare? Then there’s Virginia Woolf’s Orlando and Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women, who identified as a man. Maybe trans stories have always existed, hiding in plain sight. For a trans eye on the library catalogue, join Zoe Terakes (Eros), Marcel Liemant (Doom Bringer), and Liz Duck-Chong for a conversation that asks: what does it mean to retrospectively claim our trans literary forebears? Chaired by Yves Rees (Travelling to Tomorrow).
