Becoming a Man: The Story of a Transition by P. Carl

4.0

An interesting reflection by the author on the factors that have shaped his identity as a man after beginning to transition at the age of fifty. Sone of the ideas get a bit repetitive and the story tends to loop back on itself without adding anything new at times. The writing is clear, concise, and poetic, and the stories related within the memoir are told with poetic and evocative language. The blend of personal narrative and philosophical ideas of manhood are well blended and balance each other out for the main part. There are a few places where the narration takes on a preachy tone that can become distracting.
