In her new book, 'Love In Exile', Shon Faye delves into her own experiences of heartbreak and feelings of isolation shaped by her identity as a trans woman. The narrative is supplemented by extensive research about various forms of love, including platonic relationships and motherhood. Faye's writing, influenced by contemporaries like Annie Lord, fosters a candid discussion about the struggles of writing on intimate topics while also challenging the notion of what it means to find connection in an often alienating society.
"When I first wrote about heartbreak, I didn’t expect anyone to relate to it due to my experiences as a trans person, but the response was surprising."
"Love in Exile intertwines themes of loneliness, love addiction, and deeper narratives surrounding required love through motherhood, friendships, and forgiveness."
