Description
A debut essay collection that upends our notions of loneliness, wilderness, and liberation
Transanything reveals a world in metamorphosis. A hermit crab retires its shell, lovers drift apart, and seasons churn, all amid Ever Joness own narrative of midlife gender transition.
Jones takes up a tradition of writingabout the American landscape, solitude, wilderness, and the Westlong intertwined with colonialism and heteropatriarchy, and makes it wholly their own. A self-proclaimed nature essay misbehaves, wandering away from the hummingbird outside Joness window. In their chronicle of a week in Yellowstone, Jones navigates trails frequented by grizzlies and a campground where their identity is regarded as equally dangerous. Elk, bison, and bark spiders roam this books pages, but it is the gray wolfthe embattled apex predator of the American West, narrow survivor of settler colonial violence, and vessel for American myths of independencewho emerges as Joness shapeshifting coprotagonist.
Taking on a global web of colonial systems that seek to divide us, Jones disrupts loneliness and forges space for queerness and transness to be alivenessto be transanything.
