“With breathless, rhythmic, gender-fluid passages, Grubisic brings to English readers Nights Too Short to Dance, a timely and essential work from a queer Québécois icon. Grubisic’s translation fluently navigates a multitude of narrative voices as they remember a history of queer love and struggle. Nights Too Short to Dance is a tender celebration of youth and aging in a trans body, beautifully rendered by Grubisic.”
