The Fixed Stars cover

The Fixed Stars is a nuanced look into two subjects frequently depicted as binary: love and sexuality. Wizenberg writes of her journey into queerness with tenderness and curiosity, two essential qualities for any sort of entry into new lands. This book spoke directly to my heart. Read it.” —Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected Schizophrenias

The Fixed Stars is that rare thing, a groundbreaking, essential book about sexuality. Wizenberg’s incisive, generous laying-bare of her own experience will make many readers feel seen, understood, and not alone. This book is a triumph.” —Kate Christensenauthor of Blue Plate Special and The Last Cruise

“The Fixed Stars had me from page one: it's a wise, compelling, and compassionate book that investigates with such an open, curious heart the slippery nature of the self. Molly Wizenberg writes in beautiful, crystalline prose about what it feels like to grapple with one's desires, however unfamiliar and scary, and she does not look away.” —Edan Lepucki, author of California and Woman No. 17
