Love will prevail.
Spring 2025
Jenny Boylan is the author of 19 books, President of PEN America, and the Anna Quindlen Writer in Residence at Barnard College of Columbia University.
My new book, CLEAVAGE: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us, was published on February 4, 2025.
An excerpt from the book was published in People, and you can read that right here.
CLEAVAGE is a bookend to SHE’S NOT THERE, 20 years later, and addresses the differences between men and women, as I have lived them, as well as the difference between coming out as trans 25 years ago, as I did, and now.
It’s soft and buttery, and is available for order here.
Book tour is over for now, although I’ll be at Boston U this April 15, and the Nantucket Book Festival in June. This spring I’ve been at the University of California at Santa Cruz, where I’m “Scholar in Residence” from Valentine’s Day through St. Patrick’s.
