With wit and compassion, Daniel Mallory Ortberg revisits beloved cultural and literary figures in the light of his transition.At last, we have the work of transgender bathos we didnt know we needed, but very much do ... Ortbergs narrative is anything but linear- It skips back in time to mythic Greece, traipses across the landscape of contemporary pop culture and, in one wonderfully fabulist entry that would make Carmen Maria Machado proud, slips outside of time altogether ... One of our smartest, most inventive humour writers, Ortberg combines bathos and the devotional into a revelation ... By broadening what transgender memoir can do, the author is in good company with Viviane Namaste, who decades ago diagnosed autobiography as "the only discourse in which transsexuals are permitted to speak." Ortberg partakes of neither the damaging trope of tragic transness nor the sentimental sanctimony that we are "permitted," offering instead the comic and the transcendent.-Jordy Rosenberg, The New York Times A memoir comprised of the humorous essays that have become his trademark ... Some are essays and some are scripts or imagined conversations; at first the chapters and interludes are distinct, but at a certain point they start to blend together. All are hilarious, infused with the type of magical thinking Lavery excels at. They weave Laverys life experiences together with his historical and pop-cultural obsessions.-Claire Landsbaum, Vanity FairOrtbergs playful takes on pop culture as he explores everything from House Hunters to Golden Girls to Lord Byron, Lacan, and Rilke ... Ortbergs writing is vulnerable but confident, specific but never narrow, literal and lyrical. The author is refreshingly unafraid of his own uncertainty, but hes always definitive where it counts ... Youll laugh, youll cry, often both at once. Everyone should read this extraordinary book.
