Cecilia Gentili Released a Stunning Memoir ‘Faltas’ Is About Forgiving Yourself
We need this book, I kept thinking as I read. Fuck all the college reading lists for Ethics 101. Just assign Faltas. It’s funnier than Kant, and more realistic. Ahead of the book’s release, I spoke with Cecilia Gentili about trauma, authenticity, and getting out of fights you know you’ll never win. This book is incredible. It’s funny and clear and vivid and painful and also so complex. That’s beautiful of you to say that. Thank you.

Putting the Pieces Together
Nearly a decade ago, at a liberal Hebrew school on New York’s Upper West Side, I was a male teacher who taught a lot of boys. I typically wore jeans and a button-down shirt in the classroom, but when it was time for the school’s Purim party, I could wear whatever I wanted. For reasons I didn’t examine too closely at the time, I decided to wear a dress. I’d worn dresses before—onstage, or in the right queer setting—but they weren’t really a habit. This was 2010, and things were different then.
The realest queer YA novels about living in community
I don’t usually love coming-out stories, since the coming-out narrative tends to replace anything else that happens for trans people, but this one shines—in part because Sasha Masha’s emergence precedes her contact with queer community, but only starts to actually makes sense in the context of knowing other gay and trans people. It’s one of the only trans girl YA novels I know of, and it feels like it’s written for someone who is, like Sasha, half-out and tripping down the final steps.
