I read this book last month and can't stop thinking about it. It's sold as "queer King Lear," but it's so much deeper, weirder and of the moment than that (compelling) tag line. Apocalypse, both personal and very public, despair, thin though bright tracks of family, love, solidarity in disaster.

Dear @ndp.ca If you collude with the CPC to bring down the government, I will never forgive you. I was already pissed but willing to see if you got it together. We need adults in government working to get Canada through this farce; what are you doing?

Why do nation-building projects always have to be about hewing wood and drawing water? Why can't nation-building plans be about knowledge or science?

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

I don't know the other three books on the list, but Alison Bechdel's brilliant, poignant graphic novel Fun Home is a modern classic. Is it appropriate for elementary students? Well, no.
