$11.7 $16.95 In stock

40th anniversary reprinting of a beloved fable-manifesto from the 1970s queer counterculture. The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions, written by Larry Mitchell with illustrations by Ned Asta, takes place in a brutal empire in decline, where the faggots and their friends are surviving the ways and the world of men. Beloved by many since its publication, now with new essays by Morgan Bassichis and Tourmaline, this book offers a trenchant and irreverent critique of capitalism, assimilation, and patriarchy that is deeply relevant today.

Softcover. 113 pages.

Aurora ★★★★★

I love how this 40th anniversary edition brings back the fable-manifesto energy of the 1970s queer counterculture—the illustrations complement the text perfectly. It’s compact enough to slip in a bag and pass around at a gathering.

Isabella I. ★★★★★

The illustrations in this 40th anniversary edition are gorgeous, and the fable format makes the radical politics go down easy. I've already lent it to two friends who both ordered their own copies.

Andrew O. ★★★★☆

The prose itself feels both playful and urgent, a rare combination that makes you want to read passages aloud. My only small wish is that the binding were a bit sturdier for how often I plan to flip through it.
