 | May God Have Mercy by John C. Tucker
This is the true story of Roger Coleman, a man executed in Virginia for a murder that he may not have committed. The book follows Coleman's life from the murder all the way through the execution, focusing on a lawyer who spent two years gathering new evidence to exonerate Coleman. That this new evidence was never allowed to be heard by the courts, due to various legal technicalities, provides the backbone of a serious indictment of the death penalty system. AUTHOR: John C. Tucker

 | Read My Lips by Riki A. Wilchins
Riki Anne Wilchins has written the book that may take the discussion of gender over the top. Read My Lips: Sexual Subversion and the tend of Gender, a frontal assault on both the status quo in academic studies and the full spectrum of single-issue identity politics, will change the way you think about bodies, sex, and gender. Yours and everyone else's. Combining the theoretical breakthroughs of Judith Butler's Gender Trouble and the performance revelations of Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw, Wilchins -- cofounder of the Transsexual Menace -- moves the dialogue to a new level. In a voice that is by turns outraged, outrageous, sad, and hilarious, the author weaves theory and personal experience into a compelling story of self-discovery. She redefines what it means to be gendered , both by the way she lives and the accessible theoretical narrative she constructs. Read My Lips, with its unique mix of theory and application, anecdote and affront, will appeal to feminists, queer academics, activists, transpeople, the-queer-on-the-street , and the increasing audience of mainstream readers hungry for writing that pushes the absolute edge of the gender envelope. OUT Magazine says that the author has surfaced as the Superhero of this burgeoning (transgender) movement . Wilchins, herself, signs off on her email as follows: Just your average straight white guy with a cunt who really digs lezzie chicks like me . Rarely have smarts and chutzpah produced such good effect. AUTHOR: Riki A. Wilchins
