My Libro.fm subscription is proving very fruitful. After a couple of heavy history books I plumped for Lucy Sante’s autobiography of her gender transition in her 60s. I’d very much enjoyed Sante’s portrait of New York in the 80s featured in the Beastie Boys book and this had come highly recommended by someone on my feed. It’s beautifully written, bringing out the fear and uncertainty of not fitting in and knowing something is clearly wrong but not wanting to accept the inevitable. 10/10.
