Title: Meticulously researched, dry and unimaginative presentation
Review: It suprised me that such a fasinating subject could become a difficult to enjoy and ultimately unsatisfying read. The author's avoidance of focussing on Tipton's homosexuality and seeing her life as a pragmatic decision due to her love of jazz and the constraits of her era are a major weakness in this book. It was not a "hard to put down" but a "can't get through it" read.
