    "The book itself is trans" that's the best description of that book I've ever heard.

      Confessions of the Fox is a helluva novel. I highly recommend it!

    Oh my god you got me in with premise, as someone who worked with non binary trans circus performers I feel like they need this book I’m their lives too. Thank you.

    The awful irony of being deviant in society, yet too tamed to be a freak in a circus was really a good take on the book. I wish they delved a bit more to that. Maybe something about how being the unseen freak?
    Sort of frustrating that the author wasn't able to state their main character's identity in the books, also "he is genderfluid"? Lauraaaaaaaa

      I'm fairly sure Micah's an any-pronouns sort of person, but it was very unclear.

    Are there any books you know of that feature intersex or genderfluid protagonists? Let us know!

      The Sinkings by Amanda Curtain is an amazing book about the treatment of intersex children.

    Loving this episode, I dont know if you've been fiddling with the pacing but this one feels really snappy and I dig it.

      I have been trying to refine this style as I've been going (and opening it up to more humour) so I'm glad to hear they've been getting noticeably better.

    I can't say I agree on the premise being amazing to be honest. Just sound kinda weird or maybe just standard. Nothing all that interesting from that alone in my personal opinion.

    • @CloudCuckooCountry
      @CloudCuckooCountry  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Fair enough. My recommendation videos are meant to represent the main appeal of the books accurately, so if the book doesn't strike you as something you'd be interested in, then it's probably not for you.

    Any suggestion for a long going well written fantasy series? Finished the dark tower series recently, but my father has nothing to suggest.

    • @CloudCuckooCountry
      @CloudCuckooCountry  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm probably not the best person to ask about long-running fantasy. I typically don't follow much that comes out of the fantasy genre unless it grabs my interest for other reasons (in this case, because it was lgbt fiction). There's a fantasy literature channel called Daniel Greene which might help you though. I'd recommend looking him up.

      Daniel Greene is a decent book reviewer on TH-cam who covers the fantasy genre.
      I’ll be looking to cover other genres in the future as well.

      Let me just say that your focus on LGBT books is definitely interesting. As someone who hasn't read any books with these themes (although Giovanni's Room is on the list thanks to your video!), it gives me a unique insight I wouldn't have otherwise.
      I'm writing a dissertation now, so most of my reading is academic by necessity, but you've covered a number of books I look forward to reading when I get the time :)

    I have been having this 4 year long argument with my parents over why furries are okay, can you please make a video explaining the furry culture and experience from a furry perspective, so the argument i started when I was 19 can finally end. Tldr please make a video explaining furries to people over 50 thanks

    • @CloudCuckooCountry
      @CloudCuckooCountry  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      AshCoyote (the guest voice in this video) recently released a documentary called "The Fandom" which explains the history of furry and what it is today. Last year she also released a web series of the same name that details the different sides to the furry fandom. Those should contain all the information you need. Good luck!

    Bro you don't have to make your character adjust position every 2 seconds, it's a bit distracting
