Sullivan kept comprehensive journals from age 11 until his AIDS-related death at 39. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives. Entries from twenty-four diaries reveal Sullivan's self-articulation and the complexity of a fascinating and courageous figure.","brand":"NIGHTBOAT BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52598385803554,"sku":"9781643620176-new","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4755\/5618\/files\/9781643620176.jpg?v=1789958222","url":"https:\/\/www.albakireads.com\/products\/we-both-laughed-pleasure-selected-diaries-lou-sullivan-9781643620176-new","provider":"AlbakiReads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
