Publisher Description:
Susan Stryker is a foundational figure in trans studies. When Monsters Speak showcases the development of Stryker's writing from the 1990s to the present. It combines canonical pieces, such as "My Words to Victor Frankenstein," with her hard to find earlier work published in zines and newsletters. Brought together, they ground Stryker's thought in 1990s San Francisco and its innovative queer, trans, and S/M cultures. The volume includes an introduction by editor McKenzie Wark, who highlights Stryker's connections to developments in queer theory, media studies, and autotheory while foregrounding Stryker's innovative writing style and scholarly methods. When Monsters Speak is an authoritative and essential collection by one of the most important and influential intellectuals of our time.
