📕Reverse Tomboy: A Novel by Auto Anon

“An extremely personable writing voice, with moments of various joy - overwhelming joy, a stopping joy, a we-must-sit-in-this-joy — cut against usual romantic woes and the sense a fuller life, a social life, can lead to total ease, the opportunity to be newly still. Allusive and sweet and insightful with no caricature bogeymen or manufactured hand-wringing necessary, as AA brings an incredible millesimal fineness to bear on the Bildungsroman to fill out its every nook and cranny instead. In turns light as Hemingway and as funny and sharp as Torrey Peters, Reverse Tomboy is a remarkably brisk and exacting novel of small and sure steps toward grace in the garden of untamed harmony that is made by trans people alive and well in the public sphere.”
- BENJAMIN C. DUGDALE, author of The Repoetic After Saint Pol Roux

📕जादू मेरी ज़िंदगी: सड़क के खेल-तमाशे से अंतरराष्ट्रीय मैजिक शो तक by

“यह एक अद्भुत पुस्तक है, जो ‘मन की यात्रा’ को दर्शाती है और लेखक के समय तथा समाज का गहराई के साथ चित्रण करती है। यह एक जीवन-कथा होने के साथ-साथ राज्य और जनता के बीच के संबंधों का एक सशक्त रूपक भी है, जो अनेक छल-कपटों और उनके उजागर होने पर सामने आने वाले परिणामों के माध्यम से निर्मित होता है। देखने में सरल लगने वाली यह कथा साहित्यिक विधाओं की सीमाओं के पार जाती है और इसे अंग्रेजी की गुलीवर्स ट्रैवल्स या संभवतः मेलविल की मोबी डिक जैसी क्लासिक कृतियों के क़रीब लाती है, जो पाठक को इसके वास्तविक आशय को समझने के लिए बार-बार पढ़ने के लिए प्रेरित करती है।”
— गणेश देवी, लेखक एवं सांस्कृतिक कार्यकर्ता
