Seller's Description:
The bestselling, seminal work of trans literature: a story of love, sex, selfhood, and understanding from Jennifer Finney Boylan When she changed genders, she changed the world. It was the groundbreaking publication of She's Not There in 2003 that jump-started the transgender revolution. By turns hilarious and deeply moving, Boylan-a cast member on I Am Cait; an advisor to the television series Transparent, and a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times--explores the territory that lies between men and women, examines changing friendships, and rejoices in the redeeming power of love and family. She's Not There was one of the first works to present trans experience from the perspective of a literary novelist, opening a door to new understanding of love, sex, gender, and identity. Boylan inspired readers to ask the same questions she asked herself: What is it that makes us---ourselves? What does it mean to be a man, or a woman? How much could my husband, or wife, change-and still be recognizable as the one I love? Boylan's humorous, wise voice helped make She's Not There the first bestselling work by a transgender American--and transformed Boylan into a national spokeswoman for LGBTQ people, their families, and the people that love them. This updated and revised edition also includes a new epilogue from Jenny's wife Grace; it also contains the original afterward by her friend, novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Russo. "Love will prevail, " said Boylan's conservative mother, as she learned about her daughter's identity. She's Not There is the story that helped bring about a world in which that change seems almost possible.

Very Good. Very Good condition. A copy that may have a few cosmetic defects. May also contain light spine creasing or a few markings such as an owner's name, short gifter's inscription or light stamp.
I enjoyed reading this book for the most part since I could read what Jenny went through as she struggled with her gender identity. The only thing that I didn't enjoy about the book is the use of foul language. I wish that the book can with a warning that the foul language was used.

I just thought that this book covered a delicate issue in a personal manner. The average person could relate to the feelings and experiences on an honest level.
I find the Boylan family to be an exceptional group of people.

read this book!
It''s difficult to improve on the excellent synopsis provided by alibris and the moving review by "understanding''. Jennifer writes with a sense of humor, dignity, no self pity, although the process of coming to the final , permanent decision was obviously gut wrenching. She also writes really well, as should be expected of someone who teaches creative writing in a highly rated college. The post script ,written by best friend Richard Russo , still makes me cry when I read it.

Understanding
I met Flynn-Boylan when she came into an office I was working in and had to explain to a not very understanding person why she legally owned a house and was married to another woman. Not a fun or easy thing to do, and it made me wonder how long she had put off this appointment knowing that she was going to have to eventually get around to just that.
This is a fantastic book, and I recommend it to anyone, even if you never thought you could read something on such a subject. It is a moving story, and explains in terms that won't make you too squeamish how someone goes about deciding, and then actually, changing their own gender.
If people read it, I really believe this book goes a long way in bridging a qap of understanding to the transgender world.
