OverviewThis volume explores a web of complex relationships between body and mind, discussing the efforts of individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds to define, to achieve, or to reject the normal ; and, in some cases, to put something else in its place. After considering the problems arising from other people's perceptions of non-standard bodies, the book turns to gender: is it written upon the body , established at birth, determined only by physical traits and distinguished by material things such as clothes; or is it written within the body , defined through the subject's own feelings? It considers what happens when males consider themselves female , and females consider themselves male .It concludes with the analysis of four books, by different authors with different sexual orientations. Two of these volumes might be considered genuine autobiographies , while the other two are novels which include numerous autobiographical features that reflect the authors' own thoughts.
