Drawing on her experience as an adult literacy tutor, Judith Frank's
first novel traces the difficult and sometimes hilarious connection
between two butches of different generations - a middle-class,
thirty-something adult literacy teacher and her older, working-class
student. With a disparate group of adult learners as the backdrop,
Frank examines, with warmth and wit, the relationship between
education and gender, class, and racial identity. With Crybaby Butch,
Judith Frank creates a deeply human, bravely unsentimental story
while at the same time investigating the meaning of butch identity as
it reinvents itself from one generation to the next. ~ Carol Anshaw
Fearless and unflinching, Crybaby Butch rigorously explores
butch/femme dynamics over two generations. Judy Frank's debut novel
is searing and memorable. ~ Claire Messud
