In \u003ci\u003eTrans Figured\u003c\/i\u003e, Brian Belovitch shares his true story of life as a gender outlier and his dramatic journey through the jungle of gender identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrian has the rare distinction of coming out three times: first as a queer teenager; second as a glamorous transgender woman named Tish, and later, Natalia Gervais; and finally as an HIV-positive gay man surviving the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. From growing up in a barely-working-class first-generation immigrant family in Fall River, Massachusetts, to spinning across the disco dance floor of Studio 54 in New York City . . . from falling into military lock-step as the Army wife of a domineering GI in Germany to having a brush with fame as Natalia, high-flying downtown darling of the boozy and druggy pre-Giuliani New York nightclub scene, Brian escaped many near-death experiences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrans Figured\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles a life lived on the edge with an unforgettable cast of characters during a dangerous and chaotic era. Rich with drama and excitement, this no-holds-barred memoir tells it all. Most importantly, Brian's candid and poignant story of recovery shines a light on the perseverance of the human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian Belovitch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 151072964X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510729643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2018 pg. 8","brand":"Brian Belovitch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992160600319,"sku":"9781510729643","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61d06f07-c552-4a06-b18e-a068e621a549.jpg?v=1683314380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trans-figured-brian-belovitch-9781510729643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
