What Becomes You by Aaron Raz Link, Hilda Raz

Luminous and Illuminating
Janet Burroway, a writer and retired English prof., 04/16/2007

From Link's first trope--'About the Author'--to Raz's 'dead open eyes' on the last page, a moving and honest story, truly for this reader an experience of change. Both authors are in different ways elliptical, with meaning presented in patchwork rather than laid out in a line. Raz is truthful and elegant, and Link offers a new understanding of what it is to know that your body is not the gender of your self. I honestly do feel that I understand something I did not understand before. Outstanding.
