Love will prevail.
Spring 2026
Jenny Boylan is the author of 19 books, a Trustee and President Emerita of PEN America, and the Anna Quindlen Writer in Residence at Barnard College of Columbia University.
My new book, CLEAVAGE: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us, is now available in paperback.
An excerpt from the book was published in People, and you can read that right here.
I’m doing a short paperback tour– look for me at the Upper West Side Barnes and Noble in New York on Feb. 18th, 2026, in conversation with Ali Velshi. Later, I’ll be at the Free Library in Philly with Congresswoman Sarah McBride on March 11th, and in Hanover NH, with Jodi Picoult, on April 14th. I’ll also be at the Free Library in Boston on April 26th as I introduce Jodi during an evening celebrating her work.
CLEAVAGE is a bookend to SHE’S NOT THERE, 20 years later, and addresses the differences between men and women, as I have lived them, as well as the difference between coming out as trans 25 years ago, as I did, and now.
It’s soft and buttery, and is available for order here.
These are hard days, my friends, but I want to remind everyone that we fight back just by showing up and being visible. We will not be erased. Our love will go on.
