Epic in form, but taking on elements of memoir, interview, and criticism, Johannx’s Guidebook is a godless sermon—a rallying cry to queer femmes to be unapologetically authentic. The blending of the old and new, the sacred and the sinful, create a new Queer scripture, and offer a roadmap to self-acceptance and love.
