The power, honesty and elegance of None of the Above make it a truly breathtaking and unique contribution to the world of queer writing. This is, on one hand, a deeply reflective memoir. The level of introspection and vulnerability makes it extremely compelling, and as a reader it a gift to have such an incredible insight into Alabanza’s life. On the other hand, None of the Above is a thoughtful and critical expression of what it means to live life outside of the gender binary, exploring both the joy of experiencing moments of true freedom of self-expression, as well as the enormous sacrifice that doing so entails. Alabanza perfectly describes the liminal space in which gender non-conforming people exist, and the sheer strength of will that is required to visibly and proudly occupy that space day after day. Alongside this is a sense of joy, humour and passion that is inherent in all of Alabanza’s work. This is phenomenal and again, extremely powerful, painting a picture of transness that is sincere, true to the authors experience, and deeply nuanced.
