About This Book
As per MarginalRevolution's Tyler Cowen - "The main tale is the author’s pioneering transgender experiences, but it’s far broader than that, also being an excellent travel book, romance, family story, and tale of ineradicable obsession. Everything is pitch perfect, and you can finish it in a sitting."
