![]() ![]() ![]() “You just don’t want your hilarious, charming, complicated weirdo self to be erased by ideas people have in their heads that were made up by, like, hack TV writers, or even hackier porn writers.” In Part II, Maria has lost both the job and the girlfriend and heads west in a borrowed (OK, stolen) car. “This is what it’s like to be a trans woman,” observes the narrator, our witty guide to Maria’s complex psyche. In Part I, readers are introduced to Maria Griffiths, a 29-year-old trans woman crisscrossing New York on her bicycle, barely holding down her job at an oppressive used bookstore, avoiding an inevitable breakup with her girlfriend, and drinking a lot while forgetting to take her estrogen shots. A funny, free-wheeling novel about the experiences of a trans woman and her reluctant protégé. ![]()
