Growing up haunted by their awareness of being \"different,\" Bond began to foster intimate friendships with girls, and to feel increasingly at risk with boys. But when the bully next door wanted to meet in secret, Bond couldn't resist. Their trysts went on for years, making Bond acutely aware of how sexual power and vulnerability can intertwine. With inimitable style, Bond raises issues about LBGTQ adolescence, parenting trans\/queer children, and bullying, all while being utterly entertaining.\u003cbr\u003e\"Like Bond, the memoir is droll, pensive and filled with zingers teetering between funny and ferocious.\" \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e--\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Reading Tango is like listening to your favorite eccentric cousin or auntie tell you hair-dressing tales of innocence lost and found, friendships forged of adversity, and bullies bewildered by their own perversity.
