Whitney retraces a roving youth in deeply observant,  psychedelic prose-all the while folding in the work of thinkers like  Judith Butler, Donna Haraway, and C. Riley Snorton-to engage transness  and the breathing, morphing nature of selfhood.An expansive examination of what makes us up, Heaven  wonders what role our childhood plays in who we are. Can we escape the  discussion of causality? Is the story of our body just ours? With  extraordinary emotional force, Whitney sways between theory and memory  in order to explore these brazen questions and write this unforgettable  book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41608703377505,"sku":"9781739220785","price":8.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27551468.jpg?v=1721960113","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781739220785-heaven","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
