None Of The Above

Travis Alabanza, Canongate Books, £16.99

How can a 26-year-old have a memoir in them? In Alabanza’s world there is a lot to cover, from coming to terms with gender identity as a young, black workingclass person in Bristol to navigating constant vitriol for how they look and identify.

It paints a bleak picture of life for those who identify outside of the gender binary – and emphasises how the structures in place impact us all. This memoir will be an eye-opener for many.
