Review
"Nick Krieger is a new and welcome voice in transgender memoir. Readers will be impressed by the careful attention paid to details of gender transition through and beyond the binary."
—Kate Bornstein, author of Gender Outlaw
“It’s a rare memoir that can tell a story that seems brand new, but Nina Here Nor There does it. This one-of-a-kind narrator undertakes a quest that is unmistakably timely. But in its yearning for awareness and connection, this book feels timeless.”
—K. M. Soehnlein, author of Robin and Ruby
"With inimitable charm, Krieger makes accessible a world that many people are fascinated by, but know little about. Nina Here Nor There depicts the trans experience in a way that anyone can identify with, and everyone will enjoy."
—Thea Hillman, author of Intersex (For Lack of a Better Word)
"This is exactly the book I've been wanting to read for years: a personal, insightful, and nuanced discussion of the life experiences and tough decisions that inform transgender identities. The language is precise, the thinking is complex and the self-questioning is funny and honest. This is a profound and moving book and its existence makes me happy."

Product Description
The next-generation Stone Butch Blues--a contemporary memoir of gender awakening and a classic tale of first love and self-discovery.
When Nina Krieger first moved to San Francisco, she aspired to be a "capital L Lesbian" and surrounded herself with affluent, sporty, feminine lesbian friends. But when she moves to the Castro neighborhood, Nina finds herself thrust into a whole different world, full of people she sees as weirdos and freaks--people who blur the line between woman and man, who identify as queer, who defy everything Nina thought she knew about gender and identity. Despite herself, Nina is drawn to this new world. Before long, all her notions about gender are thrown out the window as she forges a truer path toward self-discovery.
