Edited and introduced by poet and scholar Cameron Awkward-Rich with a foreword by Michelle Tea, and paintings by Arobateau, \u003ci\u003eTime Also Will Make It Interesting\u003c\/i\u003e captures Arobateau's life as a young dyke in the criminalized cultures of 1950s-60s gay bars of Chicago and New York; his transition from dyke to trans man in late 1990s San Francisco; and his return to painting and an unfolding spirituality within that rapidly gentrifying city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eQueerly messy, ornery, and stuffed with Arobateau's wisdom, this volume is what he might have called, \"a novel combined with a journal--da novel\/journal!
