Description
The book contains a note by the author stating: "Dear Reader, I want to let you know that Stone Butch Blues is an anti-oppression/s novel. As a result, it contains scenes of rape and other violence. None of this violence is gratuitous or salacious".
This book about LGBT life in 1970s America contains several graphic descriptions of rape, including a gang rape of a character who is a minor.
Rape and sexual harassment, and the impact of such an event on one's life, is a central theme in this novel. It is accurate to the history of how women and sexual minorities were, and continue to be, treated.
The second chapter contains a child on child sexual abuse.
