None of the Above - Reflections on Life Beyond the Binary

SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE 2023 A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2022: POLITICS ''No memoir like it'' Independent ''Travis Alabanza writes with such generosity and ease even the most provocative suggestions start to seem obvious . . . Profound and funny'' SHON FAYE ''Will challenge, empower and move your soul'' Glamour ''Lucid and glorious'' YRSA DALEY-WARD __________ In None of the Above , Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them as a Black, mixed race, non-binary person. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary. Through these seven phrases, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society, giving us reason to question the very framework in which we live and the ways we treat each other.
