N2 - Reimagining archives and recovery scholarship have become trends in contemporary trans fiction. Shola von Reinhold’s LOTE (2020) and Jordy Rosenberg’s Confessions of the Fox (2018) are examples of this interest in the historical touches of trans ancestors and present-day transprotagonists. In LOTE and Confessions of the Fox, the protagonists sift through archival materials, challenge white, cisgender, heteronormative archons in institutional archives, and through critical fabulation imagine Deleuzoguattarian versions of grassroots trans archives that promise queer futurities of validation and community.
