Butch is a Noun by S Bear Bergman

Butch is a Noun by S Bear Bergman

Butch is a Noun was a critical and commercial success when first published in 2006: a funny, insightful manifesto on what it means to be butch. Irreverent, tender, funny, difficult and sexy, Butch is a Noun is a narrative about growing-up and coming-out butch, wrestling and embracing it and then wrestling with it some more. This is a story of butch in its best and worst moments, about butch in the context of femme, butch in the orbit of another butch and butch trying to stand alone, sometimes bravely and sometimes foolishly, sometimes successfully and sometimes fatally.

Bear Bergman is the author of two books: The Closest Exit May Be Behind You (Arsenal Pulp, 2009), which was nominated for a Lambda Award, and Butch is a Noun, which was originally published by Suspect Thoughts in 2006 and released in a new version by Arsenal Pulp Press in 2010. Bear is also the co-editor of the Lambda Award-winning anthology Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation (Seal, 2010), which he co-edited with Kate Bornstein. Bear, a long-time activist and public speaker, is still working at the nexus of gender, sexuality, and culture. Bear is originally from Connecticut and currently resides in Toronto with her husband and son.
