‎Vantage Points: On Media as Trans Memoir / Chase Joynt

Finalist, Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction. A provocative book by an acclaimed writer-filmmaker that combines memoir and media as seen through a trans lens. Following the death of the family patriarch, a box of newly procured family documents reveals writer-filmmaker Chase Joynt's previously unknown connection to Canadian media maverick Marshall McLuhan. Vantage Points takes up the surprising appearance of McLuhan in Joynt's family archive as a way to think about legacies of childhood sexual abuse and how we might process and represent them.
