Conundrum by Jan Morris

Penguin, 1987, softcover, 160 pages, condition: as new.

An important transgender memoir written by the British travel writer & historian. This was her first book written under her chosen name, an early autobiography of undergoing gender reassignment surgery..

"This is a beautiful book.  I found it to be melancholic, courageous, and wise.  That it's subject matter is Jan Morris's transsexual journey almost seems secondary to her incredible prose and the clarity of her honesty and introspection.  Beyond the issue of gender, she searches for an answer to that most elusive of questions: who am I?" -- Jonathan Ames
