"Mitchell reminds us that the key to our survival has always been held in our care for one another. And that we thrive not through silence and respectably but in loud resistance and unabashed queerness." - V Corzo-Duchardt

"This fable-manifesto from 1970s queers centers communal love, adoration for our earth, and relational dynamics to keep us questioning all the ways culture tries to shape us and control us. This book helped me find my own freedom; I found It dog-eared and pages falling out at a radical faerie sanctuary at a time where I needed to see 1. There is another way to live. 2 That way can be filled with hot sex, earth love, and sweet communal vibing. 3. Freedom is for the taking … are we ready?" - Stuart Getty

The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions, written by Larry Mitchell with illustrations by Ned Asta, takes place in a brutal empire in decline, where the faggots and their friends are surviving the ways and the world of men. Beloved by many since its publication, now with new essays by Morgan Bassichis and Tourmaline, this book offers a trenchant and irreverent critique of capitalism, assimilation, and patriarchy that is deeply relevant today.
