Who Killed Buster Sparkle?

Book excerpt: When Peaches, a transgender woman, sees Buster, a ghost who hasn't been seen by the living in a very long time, questions of past, present, and future surface. Buster attempts to reckon with who he was and who he is in the presence of Peaches, whose identity perplexes him -- her gender fluidity makes him uneasy. Although he doesn't want to associate with Peaches, Buster realizes that she's the only one who can hear him and he must push him biases aside to avoid eternal loneliness.Who Killed Buster Sparkle? threads together dialogue on race, gender, and learning that oppression exists in many forms. Bateman masters funny and serious through two characters that need each other more than they understand.
