Title: A dark, lurid read
Review: Chris A. Bohjalian has written a compelling, disturbing and heartwarming novel from an otherwise tricky subject matter.Trans-Sister Radio is a novel written in five parts - using four points of view with excerpts from a NPR radio interview. Set in Vermont, Dana Stevens, a college professor, meets and falls in love with Allie, a divorced mother and college student. The romance goes well - that is until Dana tells Allie that he's planning on having a sex change operation...Trans-Sister Radio is a beautiful, unique, lurid and dark read. Chris A. Bohjalian took quite a chance with the subject matter - sex change operations, the dealings after the aforementioned change - and did a wonderful job with it. This novel enthralled me from beginning to end, and I look forward to reading more work from this talented author.
