When given the opportunity to check out the audiobook for Jennifer Dugan’s Anderson in Bloom, I jumped on the chance. I have previously written about my take on the book itself here, so I will focus on the production, quality, and my enjoyment of the audiobook in this review. I found the narrator did an…

I love an oral history in general (I read an excellent graphic novel adaptation of Stud Terkel’s labor work in undergrad) and when I can listen to an audiobook of one I am even happier. The audiobook for So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color by Caro…
