Title: Some Strange Music Draws Me In Author: Griffin Hansbury Narrator: Oliver James Parkins Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins Release date: 04-25-24 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Coming of Age Publisher's Summary: It's summer, 1984, in blue-collar Swaffham, Massachusetts. Mel is thirteen, drinking a Slush Puppie at the drugstore, when she hears a voice, ‘deep and movie-star dramatic, like Lauren Bacall': Sylvia. What follows is a story of transgender awakening. Sylvia's shameless swagger and tough-girl trans femininity is an affront to the Swaffham locals, and her presence triggers hatred and, ultimately, violence. But it is also a catalyst for Mel. Through her friendship with Sylvia, Mel comes to realize that not only is there a world beyond Swaffham, there are other ways of being.
