That\u2019s because she believes that idea \u201coccludes the work other people had done that made <em>Nevada <\/em>possible\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And yet, as she states in the Afterword, this remarkable novel provided succour to many:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m proud of and humbled by how many people have told me that it\u2019s given them comfort, clarified their thinking, changed their lives, saved their lives, and otherwise been good to them\u201d (page 253).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>New York life<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The story is narrated by Maria Griffiths, a trans woman in her late 20s living in New York, who works in a bookstore and exists in a kind of emotional statis, unsure whether to break up with her live-in girlfriend or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She\u2019s difficult, detached, sometimes selfish and often spectacularly bad at dealing with other people. She\u2019s remained in the same uninspiring job because to go elsewhere would mean exposing herself to the uncertainty of starting somewhere new, where people might discover she\u2019s trans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She transitioned several years earlier, but that hasn\u2019t magically resolved the years of confusion, repression and self-doubt that she\u2019s lived with her whole life. She constantly thinks about being trans, even when she would desperately like to forget it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s an exhausting mundane reality about it all. Shaving, makeup, clothes, voice, hormone injections and the constant awareness of how other people might perceive you all become part of the mental workload. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because shaving and putting on a bunch of foundation every day are emotionally exhausting reminders of being trans (page 33).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there\u2019s a wonderfully unsentimental intelligence to Maria\u2019s views on gender, which are funny, abrasive and actually rather profound:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually you can\u2019t help but figure out that, while gender is a construct, so is a traffic light, and if you ignore either of them, you get hit by cars. Which, also, are constructs\u201d (page 29).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Gender awakening<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second half of the novel develops a slightly different tone and viewpoint as it shifts to a second character, James, whom Maria meets in Nevada on a harried road trip to the West Coast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James is a young person who is beginning to confront the possibility that he might be trans. He\u2019s in a heterosexual relationship, but he\u2019s plagued by sexual confusion, self-doubt and fear, and it\u2019s Maria who suggests maybe there\u2019s a \u201csolution\u201d he hasn\u2019t struck upon yet.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does he wish he was a girl? Fucking \u2014 obviously he wishes he was a girl. You don\u2019t spend twenty-nine hours a week thinking about being a girl and masturbating without wondering, like, I wonder if this pattern is trying to tell me something (page 181).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James wrestles with the idea that he could be trans while at the same time trying to convince himself it isn\u2019t true. It\u2019s painful to watch, and Maria, while having her heart in the right place, does come across as a bit pushy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is probably where I should put up my hand and admit that Maria isn\u2019t an entirely likeable character and that some of her behaviour is questionable \u2014 like stealing her ex-girlfriend\u2019s car, for instance. But her voice is so feisty and snarky and profound that it\u2019s an exciting experience to be inside her head, even if her personality is occasionally frustrating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found the novel a story of two halves, and the latter one, which is billed as a road trip, a lot weaker than the first. That said, I appreciate the intent of these dual stories, to show that there\u2019s no one route to discover or understand your gender, or that there\u2019s a homogenous trans experience that all trans people go through. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That seems to be the heart and purpose of <em>Nevada<\/em>. It isn\u2019t a novel about transition in the conventional sense but rather about the mess left behind by years of not knowing how to understand yourself, and about how difficult it can be to construct a life once you finally begin to understand what it is you need.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"47735\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/2026\/06\/01\/20-books-of-winter-2026-edition\/20booksofwinter2026\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp\" data-orig-size=\"891,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20BooksOfWinter2026\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp?w=891\" width=\"825\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp?w=825\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47735\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7857093401647857;width:257px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp?w=825 825w, https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp?w=150 150w, https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp?w=300 300w, https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp?w=768 768w, https:\/\/readingmattersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20booksofwinter2026.webp 891w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This is my 12th book for #20BooksofWinter2026\u00a0hosted by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/annabookbel.net\/announcing-20-books-of-summer-20bos26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Annabel at AnnaBookBel<\/a>.
