Coup de coeur
(Literature), by Lily
Alvina Chamberlands mind is a magical place. In this stunning piece of autofiction we see the world through the eyes of someone who is intensely curious, empathetic and honest. She is gentle and infinitely kind in a world that is incredibly hard and unrelenting towards trans people, and is particularly rife with transmisogyny. The writing is lyrical and unique, it's a gift to be transported across the world with her.
Through playful poetic prose, sharp social commentary and self-deprecating gallows humor Love the World or Get Killed Trying dives into the mind of Alvina, a trans woman on the eve of turning 30. The reader is invited to follow her journey through the breathtaking wilderness of Iceland and busy city boulevards of Berlin and Paris as she probes questions of eternity, sexuality, longing, death, love, and how hard it is to remain soft when you're a ceaseless target of straight men's secret lust and open disgust.
