Robert Hamblin's much awaited memoir THE JOHN TREE A Queer & Crooked Memoir for the not so Straight & Narrow is a tale of a human who refuses to live in a box, confronting and healing from gender confines and racism. It's about excavating the truth in violent Apartheid South Africa where law and church decide which body can love another, based on colour or gender, brilliantly exploring the confines of the straight trajectory.
