As the narrator assembles her encyclopedia, memories of Vivian when she was alive start to trickle into the text. Sometimes the narrator is conscious of those memories taking over, and sometimes it happens almost without her having to try.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/culture\/2020\/5\/13\/21256187\/little-blue-encyclopedia-for-vivian-review-hazel-jane-plante\">Vox <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grief is a process that encompasses the death of the past and of future possibility.

Reminiscent of early Jeanette Winterson, but also utterly innovative, this is a love letter to heart break and to art as its only, imperfect salve.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014Trish Salah, Lambda Literary Award-winning poet and author of <i>Lyric Sexology Vol. 1<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Hazel Jane Plante<\/p>\n<p>Fall 2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner of the 32nd Annual Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Winner of the 2019 Expozine Alternative Press Awards (Literary, English)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>2019 BC and Yukon Book Prizes Jim Deva Prize for Writing that Provokes, Finalist<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>2020 Publishing Triangle Award for Trans and Gender-Variant Literature, Finalist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The playful and poignant novel <i>Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian)<\/i> sifts through a queer trans woman&#8217;s unrequited love for her straight trans friend who died.
