Just finished Trans Sister Radio by Chris Bohjalian.
... a newly divorced schoolteacher, Allison Banks, falls in love with the man who teaches a summer course on film in which she is registered. Dana Stevens, the professor she loves, is not exactly what he seems from the outside: this well-manicured, gentle-faced man is in actuality a woman - and he is facing an upcoming sex change. Allison's daughter Carly and her ex-husband Will try to deal with her new passion as best they can. With Will the president of Vermont Public Radio, the book alternates between the transcripts of a public radio conversation about the dilemma and individual chapters narrated by each of the characters in order to tell the tale. |
