“Camere separate è il libro dell’amore tra Leo e Thomas e della morte di Thomas, è il libro della solitudine di Leo e della sua rinascita. È l’ultimo romanzo di Tondelli, quello con cui si chiude l’utopia cosmopolita e chiassosa degli anni Ottanta.”

Bisexuality is often seen as something temporary, in spite of increasing openness around it: a sign of immaturity or a waystation on the road to a different sexuality altogether, rather than its own distinct entity. In this beautifully written cultural history, Sam Mills reclaims bisexuality as its own identity, interweaving her experience of being bisexual with illuminating portraits of a clutch of artists, writers and musicians, including Colette, Bessie Smith, Marlene Dietrich, Anaïs Nin, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Madonna.

In a South Seattle house built on patience, Risha was raised to believe that if something was measured right and set true, it would hold. The daughter of immigrants from Kazakhstan, she learned the quiet discipline of her father’s trade—the steady work of leveling floors and mixing mortar. It was a reliable way to navigate the world, but it offered no blueprints for the restlessness of the heart. In the long, rainy years of adolescence, first love arrived without instruction.

High above the chaos lives Viola, hidden away in a tower that serves as both sanctuary and prison. Born Vincent, she fled her family to live according to her true nature, long before there were words to describe the anguish of gender dysphoria.
