after lo these many months, I have a new essay up on my blog. It's a close reading of Middlemarch through a trans lens, with detours into I Saw The TV Glow, Cecilia Gentili, and James Frankie Thomas. Read it 👇 substack.com/home/post/p-...

“Precious Permission:” Transmasculine Longing in “Middlemarch”

A close reading of Middlemarch through a trans lens. With the character of Dorothea Brooke, George Eliot speaks to our current trans cultural landscape.

We at LittlePuss FULLY AGREE WITH ROSS BARKAN The man community *is* tragically underserved in today's feminized literary scene! That's why we published REALISTIC FICTION by @aaantons.bsky.social. Non-stop gritty, bloody action-packed hard-core masculine writing. GWOAR! FINALLY A BOOK FOR MEN!

REALISTIC FICTION by Anton Solomonik — Transsexual Short Stories — LittlePuss Press

Finally, a book for men!

Okay, I am looking at this gendered reading piece by Ross Barkan and I have many thoughts and questions. Part of the thesis is this:

A more challenging question can be asked: If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership? It’s the old chicken-and-egg dilemma. The audience won’t emerge because the product isn’t there, and the product isn’t there because the audience is elsewhere. Men, obviously, can read and enjoy books by women, but there is the sticky biological reality that, on balance, women will probably prefer reading women, and men may prefer reading men. Boys, especially, seem to long for male teachers and role models in the classroom. As they age, and if they want to read, they might be drawn to the fiction of writers like Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and McMurtry. They might want literature that, at the bare minimum, seems masculine.
