Time Also Will Make It Interesting

The selected journals of trans, mixed-race artist and dyke erotica writer Red Jordan Arobateau.Best known for his erotic lesbian fiction, Red Jordan Arobateau was also a prolific painter who maintained and self-published a journal for roughly twenty years, documenting his life on the abject bottom of life in the U.S. Edited and introduced by poet and scholar Cameron Awkward-Rich with a foreword by Michelle Tea, and paintings by Arobateau, Time Also Will Make It Interesting captures Arobateaus life as a young dyke in the criminalized cultures of 1950s-60s gay bars of Chicago and New York; his transition from dyke to trans man in late 1990s San Francisco; and his return to painting and an unfolding spirituality within that rapidly gentrifying city. Queerly messy, ornery, and stuffed with Arobateaus wisdom, this volume is what he might have called, a novel combined with a journalda novel/journal! Taking all the liberty in the world! A domain where verse can be inserted, dreams recorded, my everyday political rants printed out, combined with my fortfiction! All under one binding & title!
