Klappentext

„I wrote this book to help you stay alive because I think the world needs more kind people in it, no matter who or what they are, or do. The world is healthier because of its outsiders and outlaws and freaks and queers and sinners. I fall neatly into all of those categories, so it’s no big deal to me if you do or don’t. This may be a scary time for you, and if that’s so, I hope that I can help you find your courage again.“ From Hello, Cruel World.

How lucky we are to have such a clear and intelligent writer who has had profoundly personal experiences with different identities, the subject of this first-rate book. Kurt Vonnegut

Inspiring and life affirming, Hello, Curel World is the kind of book that empowers us to fight for ourselves, and for one another. Rosie O’Donnell

I realize Kate Bornstein is trying to save teenagers – the beautiful weirdos on whom the fate of our future rests – but if her book gets into the wrong hands, she might inadvertently save a whole lot of adults too. Carol Queen, Founding director, Center for Sex & Culture
