Discover Why Wanting in Arabic Is This Year's Best Transgender Fiction

transitiontransmission:

Poet and scholar Trish Salah’s new book, Wanting in Arabic, justwon the Lambda Literary Award for Best Transgender Fiction. Salah’s win is an accomplishment representative of her career, which she’s spent, in part, showing readers the critical importance of transgender literature.

“So often trans* people’s work is read as a symptom of our identity rather than as creative and critical writing that may arise from our experiences, oppression, and culture, but which is not reducible to it,” Salah recently told The Manitoban.

A Lebanese-Canadian professor of women’s and gender studies at the University of Winnipeg, Salah has focused her research on the emergence of transgender and transsexual minority literatures as well as feminism, decolonization, sex work, and transnational sexualities. Most recently, she organized Writing Trans Genres: Emergent Literatures, a groundbreaking conference dedicated to trans literature.

In addition to Wanting in Arabic, Salah has published numerous scholarly articles, sits on the editorial board of Transgender Studies Quarterly, and has just released her second book, Lyric Sexology, Vol. 1 (Roof Books).
