![]() ![]() Greedy is a book that is deeply personal, but it treats growing up and coming to a larger understanding of oneself as tied to understanding the world and power structures and how that affects everyone. I told her at one point that the book is similar to many memoirs and essay collections about being young and romance and sex, which Winston is very aware of, but she is equally interested in telling her own story and in trying to ask questions about bisexuality, as she is in exploring what a rejection of binary choices and accepted norms and limits can mean for us all. ![]() ![]() Winston also tries to open up that conversation outside of herself and her own experiences. ![]() She’s also interested in exploring what bisexuality means, how coming out as a bi woman differs from coming out as a lesbian, about the spaces she feels comfortable in and those she feels excluded from. From mocking New England foliage, referencing Kim Possible and Ella Emhoff, to asking how many times can one watch Blue is the Warmest Color before losing your attraction to men. Winston is very funny and wants to make the reader laugh. In the new book Greedy: Notes From a Bisexual Who Wants Too Much, Jen Winston writes about herself and her own journey but the essay collection tries to do a lot more than talk about herself or just explain bisexuality. ![]()
