BA English Alum Hil Malatino's Audiobook, Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad

Congratulations to BA English Alum Hil Malatino on publication of the audiobook version of his monograph, Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad.

An excerpt from the synopsis of Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad:

In Side Affects, Malatino opens a new conversation about trans experience that acknowledges the reality of feeling fatigue, envy, burnout, numbness, and rage amid the ongoing onslaught of casual and structural transphobia in order to map the intricate emotional terrain of trans survival. Trans structures of feeling are frequently coded as negative on both sides of transition. Before transition, narratives are framed in terms of childhood trauma and being in the "wrong body." Post transition, trans individuals—especially trans people of color—are subject to unrelenting transantagonism.   [ . . . ]
