**Sexual Metamorphosis**  
**An Anthology of Transsexual Memoirs**  
**Jonathan Ames**.

In Sexual Metamorphosis, Ames presents the personal narrative of sixteen gender pioneers. **Christine Jorgensen**, the first celebrity transsexual, greeting thousands of well-wishers from the stage of Madison Square Garden. **Caroline Cossey**, former model and Bond girl, being outed in the tabloids. Novelist and English professor **Jennifer Boylan** discusses her impending transformation with her heartbroken spouse and supportive yet confused colleagues. The result is a fascinating and compulsively readable book, filled with anguish, introspection, and courage.

This book has been out for some time, so it’s not a new publication, but it’s a book worth pursing for its insight and breadth of coverage.

**Out now £8:99**
