In the vein of Jan Morris's classic \u003ci\u003eConundrum \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJennifer Finney Boylan's She's Not There, \u003c\/i\u003ea transgender memoir, Haskell's \u003ci\u003eMy Brother My Sister \u003c\/i\u003egracefully explores a delicate subject, this time from the perspective of a family member. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaskell chronicles her brother Chevey's transformation through a series of psychological evaluations, grueling surgeries, drug regimens, and comportment and fashion lessons as he becomes Ellen. Despite Haskell's liberal views on gender roles, she was dumbfounded by her brother's decision. With candor and compassion, she charts not only her brother's journey to becoming her sister, but also her own path from shock, confusion, embarrassment, and devastation to acceptance, empathy, and the pleasure of having a sister. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaskell widens the lens on her brother's story to include scientific and psychoanalytic views. In an honest, informed voice, she has revealed the controversial world of gender reassignment and transsexuals from both a personal and a social perspective in this frank and moving memoir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Haskell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 014312580X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143125808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Molly Haskell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890572226815,"sku":"9780143125808","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6d6e841-e3bf-4d62-bb1c-3ddcb04d5d0a.jpg?v=1709739418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-brother-my-sister-molly-haskell-9780143125808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
