In lyrical, literary new debut memoirs, Cyrus Dunham (A Year Without a Name) and T Kira Madden (Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Daughters) deconstruct their complicated journeys into adulthood. Gender, family, queer identity, race, and more underpin the transformative experiences of their first two-plus decades, beautifully wrought to deconstruct expectation and define themselves above the myriad messages of who a person, at any age, should be.
