Publisher's Summary

In Rebent Sinner, Ivan Coyote takes on the patriarchy and the political, as well as the intimate and the personal in these beguiling and revealing stories of what it means to be trans and non-binary today, at a time in their life when they must carry the burden of heartbreaking history with them, while combatting those who would misgender them or deny their very existence. These stories span thirty years of tackling TERFs, legislators, and bathroom police, sure, but there is joy and pleasure and triumph to be found here, too, as Ivan pays homage to personal heroes like Leslie Feinberg and Ferron while gently guiding younger trans folk to prove to themselves that there is a way out of the darkness.

Rebent Sinner is the work of an accomplished artist whose plain truths about their experience will astound listeners with their utter, breathtaking humanity.

Critic Reviews

“Coyote describes the burdens of representation that saddle LGBTQ writers and performers, and ponders the legacy of their own generation of trans artists. Audiences interested in the conversation on trans identities will welcome Coyote’s direct style and compassionate voice.” — Publishers Weekly

“Coyote brilliantly nestles kindred moments together and makes the ordinary magical. …Their writing has a generous quality to it in the way it appeals to everyone’s humanity while still firmly advocating for equity, compassion, understanding, and safety for LGBTQ2S+ people, especially trans and/or gender non-conforming youth.” — Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW

“There’s humour in this book, alongside pathos and bathos and Joan Armatrading and everything else you’d want from a collection of true stories. …Rebent Sinner is a book you need to read.” — Toronto Star

Straight to the heart

Ivan fires an arrow straight to my heart and never misses. Eloquent descriptions butch, trans, queer joys, challenges and observations are beautiful and bittersweet.

Their description of their experience with lipstick is forever etched in my mind and brings joy.

Thank you Ivan - heartfelt thanks. Things resonated to my core.

Compelling story telling

As always, great story telling, I’m really excited to see more of Ivan’s books becoming available on audible. Hearing the author narrate is also really engaging.
