Krátky popis
After a successful career, a twenty-year marriage, and two kids,
McKenzie Wark has an acute midlife crisis: coming out as a trans
woman. Changing both social role and bodily form recasts her
relation to the world. Transition changes what, and how, she
remembers.She makes fresh sense of her past and of history by
writing to key figures in her life about the big themes that haunt
us all-love and money, sex and death. In letters to her childhood
self, her mother, sister, and past lovers, she writes a backstory
that enables her to live in the present. The letters expand to
address trans sisters lost and found, as well as Cybele, ancient
goddess of trans women.She engages with the political, the
aesthetic, and the numinous dimensions of trans life and how they
refract her sense of who she is, who she has been, who she can
still become. She confronts difficult memories that connect her
mother's early death to her compulsion to write, her communist
convictions, her coming to New York, the bittersweet reality of her
late transition, and the joy to be found in Brooklyn's trans and
raver communities.
