As everyone here at Read Furiously is kicking off our Pride celebration, we are very happy to announce that Dyke Delusions: Essays and Observations, the latest essay collection from Samantha Mann, is now available wherever books are sold!
Dyke Delusions: Essays and Observations is a nonlinear memoir that reclaims the notion of self as it reminds us to sit with the discomfort that comes with the journey. In a mix of personal essays and cultural criticism, Samantha Mann confronts body politics, motherhood, queerness, sexuality, and childhood trauma in a way we haven’t seen before. Told in Samantha Mann's signature style, the book has already earned itself accolades, appearing in 2025 Gays Reading Pride Guide, Write or Die Magazine’s “27 Books We Can’t Wait to Read: June 2025”, Booknblazers’ Big Gay Summer Reading Guide, Indie Pub Salon’s Pride Month Collection, and the CLMP 2025 Pride Reading List.
