Meredith Talusan’s Fairest: A Memoir is a raw, unfiltered look at race, class, sexuality, gender, and so much more. Talusan navigates through the complexities of growing up as a young kid with albinism in a rural community in the Philippines, who grew up to become a Harvard graduate, an artist and activist questioning the boundaries of gender, and discovering her place within the gay community.
