TNQ 31 | Fred: An Unbecoming Woman

  • Summary

  • Listen to us babble our way through our very first memoir - Fred: An Unbecoming Woman by Annie Krabbenschmidt!

    Out today, June 3rd! Go get yourself a copy!

    This debut book is half essay, half memoir, and wholey authentic. Annie Krabbenschmidt explores compulsory heterosexuality, womanhood, and perfection with astonishing wit and insight. Fred discusses coming of age in a time where Marriage Equality seemed like a distant fantasy, casual homophobia was extremely casual, and Twilight had everyone convinced stalking was the height of romance.

    Spoiler: It kinda sucked, but we got through it.
