Nina Here Nor There by Nick Krieger
The next-generation Stone Butch Blues--a contemporary trans memoir of gender awakening, first love, and self-discovery that "invites readers to view gender not as a binary or a spectrum but as an infinitely beautiful 'kaleidoscope'" (Bust Magazine).Ambitious, sporty, feminine "capital-L lesbians" had been Nina Krieger's type. For friends that is. She hadn't dated in 7 years, a period of non-stop traveling--searching for what, or avoiding what, she didn't know. When she lands in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood, her roommates introduce her to a whole new world, full of people who identify as queer, who modify their bodies and blur the line between woman and man, who defy everything Nina thought she knew about gender and identity.
Despite herself, Nina is drawn to the people she once considered freaks, and before long, she is forging a path that is neither man nor woman, here nor there. This candid and humorous memoir of gender awakening brings readers into the world of the next generation of transgender warriors and tells a classic tale of first love and self-discovery.
A native of New York, Nick Krieger realized at the age of twenty-one that he'd been born on the wrong coast, a malady he corrected by transitioning to San Francisco. His writing has earned several travel-writing awards and has been published in multiple travel guides.
