As one of Britain's best and most loved travel writers, Jan Morris has led an extraordinary life. Perhaps her most remarkable work is this grippingly honest account of her ten-year transition from man to woman - its pains and joys, its frustrations and discoveries. On first publication in 1974, the book generated enormous interest and curiosity around the world, and was subsequently chosen by The Times as one of the '100 Key Books of Our Time'. Including a new introduction, this re-issue marks a return to that particular journey.'Certainly the best first-hand account ever written by a traveller across the boundaries of sex.' Daily Mail

Audio Book Conundrum (European Road Maps S.) with FREE MOBI EDITION!

A soldier and correspondent, who once climbed Mount Everest with Mallory in 1953, changes his sex twenty years later and explains transsexualism in a flight of fanciful prose fit for an Oxford graduate. Jan Morris resigns from a successful male life to live out her days as a writer of books and traveler of the world. In this memoir, so unlike the transsexual transition stories in the media today, Morris describes the plight of a true transsexual hiding in a male body until a time comes when he can no longer deal with the conundrum swirling around inside of him. The read can be difficult for all but the educated reader who is well versed in historical events of the time and the affluent language of the sophisticated graduate. Morris tries to dispel myths and reveal the inner workings of the mind of a true transsexual as she explains her view of the more significant events of her life. The language is poetic and very descriptive in a modernist writing style, full of internal dialog and descriptions as only an experienced correspondent and travel writer could present. If one is able to pierce the intellectual diatribe Morris uses to convey her story, they will enjoy some clever anecdotes and remarkable historical events. Unfortunately, she delves into some of the more interesting moments using conclusory statements about her inner struggle to survive nearly forty years as a male. Here, she leaves the reader wanting more but with an appreciation of what it is like to possess male body as a woman and live a rich and multifaceted life among both genders. Morris was obviously still in the throes of the excitement of realizing a life long obsession to change sex and feel normal in her own body when she wrote this story and thus concentrated almost exclusively on the positive more auspicious aspects of his conundrum. Unfortunately, she failed to target a specific audience and kept the prose vague and ethereal. It is difficult to determine whether she was avoiding much of the anguish in her early life that for the sake of her former spouse, 5 children, close friends, all who undoubtedly would be left with the aftermath of any exposé. It is no less a very well written account of her feelings while in a male body, albeit mostly the joys and absent the chaos associated with the gender dysfunction and lacked honest discussion of the internal conflict endured to achieve her dream. Unlike Lily Elbe's story twenty years earlier, Morris keepsthoughts more controlled. She establishes a brief history of the transsexual experience to date, mentioning Elbe's story, ties to the American transsexual scene of the sixties, Christine Jorgensen, and her meeting with the most influential doctor in modern history, Harry S. Benjamin, whose pioneer research set the standards and course of conduct by the medical community that extends into today. I highly recommend the book to scholars and educated persons able to negotiate the sophisticated verse and intellectual style of writing of a brilliant and well accomplished person and writer. If possible to give 4 and 1/2 stars I would. I only hold back because I felt in trying to sheild friends and family some embarrassment and pain, her writing felt circular, convoluted and restrained and it lacked the verve she has shown to possess as an experienced war correspondent as demonstrated in much of her other writing.
