In the summer of 1984 in Swaffham, Massachusetts, Mel meets Sylvia, a trans woman whose swagger inspires Mel’s dawning self-awareness. But Sylvia’s presence throws Mel into conflict with her mother and best friend. In 2019, Max (formerly Mel) is back in Swaffham, and must face his own role in the disasters of the past. Some Strange Music Draws Me In is about a working-class mother and her queer child, a trans man and his right-wing sister, and a teenager and her best friend. This timely and captivating narrative illuminates the ways that difference can provide a ticket to liberation.
