In the 1980s, poet and activist Roz Kaveney wrote a novel, Tiny Pieces of Skull, about trans street life and bar life in London and Chicago in the late 1970s. Much admired in manuscript by writers from Kathy Acker to Neil Gaiman, it has never seen print until now... Funny and terrifying by turns, and full of glimpses of other lives, it is the story of how beautiful Natasha persuades clever Annabelle to run away from her life and have adventures, more adventures than either of them quite meant her to have...
‘Tiny Pieces is fucking brilliant. ‘A certain classic, a definitive portrait of trans outside the niceties of middle class daydreams. Brava, sister mine.’ (Kate Bornstein, writer and activist)
‘Even now I find it hard to put into words quite how moving and marvellous I found it. It's an astonishing, troubling book; scalpel-sharp; brittle; bleak and brave. I feel sure it will upset a great number of people in all the right ways. In fact, I hope it does literature should be a call to arms, not a sleeping-pill. Congratulations on bringing this story out of the dark.’ (Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat and The Gospel of Loki)

In the afterword to "Tiny Pieces of Skull", Roz Kaveny writes: "This is a novel I write in 1988 about my time in Chicago in 1978 and 1980. Most of it happened, more or less, though I don't guarantee the truth of all the stories people told me back then."Annabelle, the novel's heroine, is a trans woman who has been persuaded to move from London to Chicago by the impossibly glamorous Natasha. Robbed of money and possessions and unable to rely on her so-called friend, Annabelle has to make her own way in the country and soon finds herself in a world of shady bars and prostitution. What first seems to be an exciting departure from her good-girl life in England begins to turn dark and dangerous.
Annabelle is portrayed with humour and sympathy, and as an educated ingénue she is the perfect character through which to view her new world. The other characters are also brilliantly realized and although their tall stories are highly entertaining, the novel as a whole is also moving and humane.
