Feinberg was the first theorist to advance a Marxist concept of Òtransgender liberation.Ó Sold by hundreds of thousands of copies, passed hand-to-hand inside prisons, the novel has been translated into Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Slovenian, Turkish, and Hebrew--with earnings from that edition going to ASWAT Palestinian Gay Women--and won the 1994 American Library Association Stonewall Book Award and 1994 Lambda Literary Award. Feinberg said in hir AuthorÕs Note to the 2003 edition: \"Like my own life, this novel defies easy classification. If you found 'Stone Butch Blues' in a bookstore or library, what category was it in? Lesbian fiction? Gender studies? Like the germinal novel 'The Well of Loneliness' by Radclyffe\/John Hall, this is a lesbian novel and a transgender novelÑmaking ÔtransÕ genre a verb, as well as an adjective.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leslie Feinberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43998463951009,"sku":"1234570889","price":30.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/kjqzjj-front-shortedge-384_7a8a5b2d-b5b0-4fca-921a-c7396cb25faf.jpg?v=1747351557","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/stone-butch-blues-20th-anniversary-author-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
