Perverts traverses the psychic landscapes of Kay Gabriel and her community of friends, writers and organizers, piecing together a collective dream that both mirrors and transforms waking life.
Against the backdrop of the anti-trans panic, Pervertsexplores desire as a political problem. It asks two questions at the same time: whose desire is understood as dangerously excessive? And—a classic organizer’s question—how do we turn what we have into what we need to get what we want? Synthesizing her own dreams with those of her friends, Kay Gabriel’s Perverts is an exercise in turning private experience into shared consciousness and illicit desire into common cause..
“[Gabriel] imagines desire as a constant, not a crisis, but it is a constant that is flexible and porous, with a poetics to match.” —New York Review of Books
“Gabriel is among those freeing trans writing from the trap of identity.” —McKenzie Wark
