Critical Response to Heretic to Housewife “Rahne Alexander's collection is a fascinating look at how memory has the ability to move us through time and place. The prose is compelling and warm, richly conversational. This is the kind of writing that puts a hand on your arm, pulls you in close, and whispers in your ear. It is earnest without artifice. It is powerful work.” — Kristen Arnett“Rahne’s writing, like so much of her art, reveals the ley lines that connect big ideas—theory, policy, language—to the everyday experience of a richly-lived life.” — Anthony Moll"Rahne Alexander is the trans* Marcel Proust.  This lyrical book of essays, weaves together sex, politics, feminism, family, memory, history, and love, to deliver a compact and moving meditation on the world we share." — Jordan Alexander SteinAbout the AuthorRahne Alexander is a multimedia artist based in Baltimore, Maryland.
