Language: anglais.Country: Grande-Bretagne.Publication: Grande-Bretagne : Daunt Books, 2022Description: 1 vol. (287 p.)ISBN: 9781914198045.Abstract: A memoir of gender transition and recovery from addiction, a dance across genres, a ripping-up of the rulebook, Please Miss is unlike anything you've ever read before. Grace Lavery is a reformed druggie, an unreformed omnisexual chaos Muppet, and a 100 per cent, all natural, synthetic female hormone monster. How could her story be straightforward when she is anything but? The telling of her tale is kaleidoscopic, wild and audacious: Grace performs in a David Lynch remake of Sunset Boulevard and is reprogrammed as a 1960s femmebot; she is targeted with anonymous letters from a mysterious cabal of clowns; she writes a socialist manifesto disguised as a porn parody of QI (or is it vice versa?). As Grace fumbles toward a new trans identity, she tries on dozens of different voices, creating a coat of many colours. The result is a dazzling, unique and unforgettable. Startingly funny and ruthlessly smart, Please Miss gives us what we came for, then slaps us in the face and orders us to come again..Subject: transféminité | autofiction | alcoolisme | transition | transidentitéItem type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |

A memoir of gender transition and recovery from addiction, a dance across genres, a ripping-up of the rulebook, Please Miss is unlike anything you've ever read before.
Grace Lavery is a reformed druggie, an unreformed omnisexual chaos Muppet, and a 100 per cent, all natural, synthetic female hormone monster. How could her story be straightforward when she is anything but? The telling of her tale is kaleidoscopic, wild and audacious: Grace performs in a David Lynch remake of Sunset Boulevard and is reprogrammed as a 1960s femmebot; she is targeted with anonymous letters from a mysterious cabal of clowns; she writes a socialist manifesto disguised as a porn parody of QI (or is it vice versa?).
As Grace fumbles toward a new trans identity, she tries on dozens of different voices, creating a coat of many colours. The result is a dazzling, unique and unforgettable. Startingly funny and ruthlessly smart, Please Miss gives us what we came for, then slaps us in the face and orders us to come again.
