Sex Change - 9781733266222

Arthur Becker is born with a vagina, and is named Marta. The "Arthur" comes by way of his implacable, relentless insistences. His (or her) instincts and interests are male, watch him toss a perfect football spiral-and other things: What can follow from such conflict but confusion and pain, and at an early age, when his body can tolerate nothing great in alleviation, only palliatives. He is raped. Years pass before he is able to absorb without great danger the major infusion of hormones , and then the bigtime sine qua non, an actual (but of course jerry-rigged) penis.Experiments follow-meaning dates, with girls. Meaning right-fit careers for a "guy" like Arthur: Acting? Miming? Social work? Thus Arthur's adventures and mis¬adventures, some comic, some miserably tragic. . . And Love?-halleluyah, a real woman, and one who suits this young man who was once an unreal woman. Seems like the "wisdom" he has found himself picking-up may actually be wise. Could be.
