Gender Failure with Ivan E. Coyote and Rae Spoon

Ivan and Rae have written a magical, down-to-earth, painfully honest step beyond any predetermined transgender narrative that I know of. At times hilarious, at times heartbreaking, their storytelling is top-notch. This book is unputdownable.

Kate Bornstein, author of A Queer and Pleasant Danger

Writer and storyteller Ivan E. Coyote and musician Rae Spoon bring together words, sounds and original music in their multimedia show Gender Failure, an exploration and exposé of their failed attempts at fitting into the gender binary, and ultimately, how the gender binary fails us all. 

 

Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, Coyote brings their razor-sharp timing and powerful narrative, and Spoon adds their ethereal voice and poetic turns of phrase to this dynamic artistic partnership.
