What is the difference between men and women? In her latest novel Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us, bestselling author Jennifer Finney Boylan examines the divisions—as well as the common ground—between the genders, and reflects on her own experiences, both difficult and joyful, as a transgender American. On Friday, Feburary 14, Boylan will be joined by Rebecca Makkai, bestselling author of The Great Believers, to discuss Cleavage at Bookends & Beginnings.
With Boylan’s trademark humor and poignancy, Cleavage is a sharp, witty, and captivating look at the triumphs and losses of a life lived in two genders. Boylan considers her womanhood, reflects on the boys and men who shaped her, and reconceives of herself as a writer, activist, parent, and spouse. With heart-wrenching honesty, Cleavage provides hope for a future in which we all have the freedom to live joyfully as men, as women, and in the space between us.
