Queer View Mirror: McKenzie Wark’s New Memoir is a Transformative Triptych of Self-Reflection

McKenzie Wark, writer and theorist joined Sam Elkin of Queer View Mirror to chat about her new memoir, AI’s place in literature, and her upcoming Australian tour.

Based in New York, McKenzie is a prolific writer, having published several works of trans literature. Her latest publication, Love and Money, Sex and Death, is a self-reflective memoir divided into a transformative triptych. The book delves into significant figures in her life, structured around three sections: Mothers, Lovers, and Others.

McKenzie reflects on the challenges of remembering life post-transition and describes how writing the memoir became an intriguing journey of rediscovering how memories evolve.

“I attempted to recontour the emotional landscape of my childhood and early adulthood,”.
