FINALIST FOR THE PUBLISHING TRIANGLE AWARD


Drawn from Lou Sullivan's meticulously kept journals, this landmark book records the life of arguably the first publicly gay trans man to medically transition.


We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan narrates the inner life of a gay man moving through the shifting social, political, and medical mores of the second half of the 20th century. Sullivan kept comprehensive journals from age 11 until his AIDS-related death at 39. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives. Entries from twenty-four diaries reveal Sullivan's self-articulation and the complexity of a fascinating and courageous figure.
