The universality of the astonishingly uncommon: that's the trick of She’s Not There. "Probably no book I've read in recent years has made me so question my basic assumptions about both the centrality and the permeability of gender, and made me recognize myself in a situation I've never known and have never faced. Through her clear eyes, She's Not There provides a new window on the confounding process of accepting our true selves. Told in Boylan's fresh voice, She's Not There is about a person bearing and finally revealing a complex secret.
By turns hilarious and deeply moving, Jennifer Finney Boylan explores the territory that lies between men and women, examines changing friendships, and rejoices in the redeeming power of family.
