I just discovered this author and this is the third book I have read by him. Each one has been VERY different. #1 was a horror novel and #2 was historical fiction, a murder mystery set in post war Italy.
This book is about a middle-aged man having sexual reassignment surgery. It's narrated not only by him but his friends, enemies, coworkers, family and most of all by the woman he loves who he hopes will still want to marry him when it's all said and done. It is without a doubt the most interesting and thought provoking piece of fiction I have ever read on the subject.
