For no reason at all here are some of our favorite works of fiction by trans & gender nonconforming authors.

The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi is a contemporary novel about a Nigerian family whose child is found dead on their doorstep, and the story of the events that lead to that tragedy. Emezi is a marvellous writer, and we recommend all of their books.
