Book Description
One of Vogue's Best Books of 2022 So Far, Buzzfeed's Summer Books You Won’t Be Able To Put Down, Book Riot's Best Summer Reads for 2022, and Dazed's Queer Books to Read in 2022 "[Nevada] is defiant, terse, not quite cynical, sometimes flip, addressed to people who think they know. It is, if you like, punk rock." —The New Yorker "Nevada is a book that changed my life: it shaped both my worldview and personhood, making me the writer I am. And it did so by the oldest of methods, by telling a wise, hilarious, and gripping story." —Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby A beloved and blistering cult classic and finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction finally back in print, Nevada follows a disaffected trans woman as she embarks on a cross-country road trip. Maria Griffiths is almost thirty and works at a used bookstore in New York City while trying to stay true to her punk values. She’s in love with her bike but not with her girlfriend, Steph. She takes random pills and drinks more than is good for her, but doesn’t inject anything except, when she remembers, estrogen, because she’s trans. Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up, sending Maria into a tailspin, and then onto a cross-country trek in the car she steals from Steph. She ends up in the backwater town of Star City, Nevada, where she meets James, who is probably but not certainly trans, and who reminds Maria of her younger self. As Maria finds herself in the awkward position of trans role model, she realizes that she could become James’s savior—or his downfall. One of the most beloved cult novels of our time and a landmark of trans literature, Imogen Binnie’s Nevada is a blistering, heartfelt, and evergreen coming-of-age story, and a punk-smeared excavation of marginalized life under capitalism. Guided by an instantly memorable, terminally self-aware protagonist—and back in print featuring a new afterword by the author—Nevada is the great American road novel flipped on its head for a new generation.

Excerpt from Nevada: The Land of Silver To develop her vast mineral resources seems to be Nevada's destiny; and it is just as proper that she should exhume her silver as that Pennsylvania should dig her coal, or California crush out her gold. In her great work Of silver production Nevada is but in her infancy, so to speak; and, notwithstanding the vast developments already known, new discoveries are being daily made, and will continue to be made for hundreds of years to come.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sazerac Lying Club: A Nevada Book In the year 1873, I was employed in an editorial capacity on a small daily paper, the reese river reveille, published in the town of Austin, State of Nevada. This was a sort of general utility position, com prising all the branches oi interior journalism, from Writing an advertise ment about a lost dog up to heavy dissertations on leading topics. But the main object was to get items of local news. Austin is a small, interior mining town, ninety miles, by a rough road, from the Central Pacific Railroad; having its communication with the outer world carried on by means of mud-wagons, called by courtesy stages; and, it can readily be conceived, a quiet place, in which anything of a start ling nature in the line of news seldom transpires. There was no difficulty about the leaders or other editorial matter; a pair of sharp shears, a raid on the exchanges, and texts from the tele graphic news daily supplied to the paper, would readily furnish them; but to make up respectable local columns was a constant strain on the mental capacity and legs of the writer, and he had almost said, on the imagin ation, but a strict moral training in early life, etc., caused him to con fine himself strictly to facts.
