Description
Sam Mills' Uneven tells the stories of nine pioneering bisexual artists, writers and musicians who have been misunderstood and overlooked. This beautifully written cultural history reclaims bisexuality as its own identity, weaving together the author's personal experience with illuminating portraits of trailblazing figures from the past. Through their lives and work, these artists challenge the common perception of bisexuality as a temporary or transitional state. Instead, they embody a distinct and resilient identity that has been shaped by social attitudes and cultural norms. By exploring how these figures have been portrayed over time, Mills sheds light on the progress - and ongoing struggles - of the LGBTQ+ community. Illuminating, personal and entertaining, Uneven offers a nuanced portrait of a sidelined community that is both a tribute to their achievements and a call to reevaluate our understanding of bisexuality.
