I recently read, from Édouard Louis, Who Killed my Father, and Collapse - which I reeeally recommend. I also bought James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room and Another Country and I'm looking forward to reading them. And in the meanwhile I wanted to get some more suggestions, so thanks in advance :) ✊🏳️‍🌈

I'm surprised no one mentioned this classic yet: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

A lone human ambassador is sent to the icebound planet of Winter, a world without sexual prejudice, where the inhabitants’ gender is fluid. His goal is to facilitate Winter’s inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the strange, intriguing culture he encounters.

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know it. And I love sci fi / space in general!
