Donna Minkowitz is the author of two memoirs, Growing Up Golem and Ferocious Romance. Both of them were finalists for the Lambda Literary Award (and Ferocious Romance won it). Both have VERY long subtitles. Both are funny, intimate, and kind of dark.

Way back in the day, Donna Minkowitz was a feature writer and columnist on queer politics and culture for the Village Voice. Science-fiction writer Terry Bisson said of Golem, which has some magical realist elements, "Rich and wild, dark and funny, as fearless as her legendary journalism and as scary as a fairy tale. A serious writer at the top of her game."

Other places you can find her work are the New York Times Book Review, Salon, The Nation and New York magazine.
