About The Dinner Party:

Cat Fitzpatrick returns to the chaotic and adorable world of the trans femme with The Dinner Party, a jubilant celebration of queerness and a tender ode to how communities are formed through fostering support, joy, and love.

In the title piece, a riotous post-pandemic dinner party inspires musings on love and gender. Then there is “A Stay in the Country,” a short arcadian pageant; “Baby Book,” about the trials and tribulations of making babies as queer and transsexual couples; “Letter to Crabstick,” an epistolary friendship; and “Uxorious Sonnets,” a collection of eight love poems.

The Dinner Party releases on Tuesday, May 19. Preorder your copy here!

CAT FITZPATRICK's debut novel, The Call-Out (Seven Stories Press, 2022), was awarded the 2023 Lambda Award for Transgender Fiction. She is the author of the poetry collection Glamour­puss (Topside Press, 2016), and the co-editor of the anthology Meanwhile, Elsewhere: Science Fiction & Fantasy from Transgender Writers, which won the ALA Stonewall Award for Literature. Fitzpatrick is the first trans woman Director of the Women’s and Gender Studies program at Rutgers University–Newark, and she also serves as the Editrix at LittlePuss Press. The Dinner Party (Seven Stories Press, 2026) is her second novel in verse.
