Trans-Sister Radio
I thought this was a good TG book, It was Dana Stevens transition story, written by a third party. It had a surprising ending (at least if you didnt already know what actually happened to her). It didn't cover as many details about the transition, as it was more ...

deceptively simple
This book, on the surface, is simple, straightforward and plot-driven. But the real power comes from its understatement. It is a beautifully-written and conceived story that reveals the complexity of human nature and yields a powerful statement about what is ...

A good read; not his best...
I've read nearly everything Bohjalian has written to date. He continues with the exceptional method of writing in this book, yet it doesn't quite measure up to his others. If you haven't read any Bohjalian yet, this may not be the one to start with. Try Midvies (5 ...

The Personal, Concentrated, Becomes Universal
Much as I love novels, there are times when short, pithy, engaging non-fiction is exactly what I feel like reading. And I am well aware that there are damned few writers in the world who can claim mastery of both forms. Chris Bohjalian is one such writer, and "Idyll ...
