Tune in as Sydney (@sydsbooked) partners up with the podcast for a plunge into Compound Fracture, the 2024 queer YA thriller/horror novel by Andrew Joseph White about a trans teenage boy who’s trying to figure himself out and pursue his socialist politics while fighting back against the violent and cop-enforced bigotry of his West Virginian home. The socially awkward obstacles that come with neurodivergence, mutual aid being a crucial aspect of socialism and anarchism, the oh-so-radical idea that liberals and Democrats shouldn’t be condescendingly throwing away red states and the communities within them, and parents who are trying their clumsy best to accept their trans kid comprise quite a bit of the subject matter for this episode.
