Real Man Adventures
T. Cooper
(Author)
Description
T Cooper's Real Man Adventures is not a memoir. It's an adventure story?and one packed with all the requisite dark alleys, disguises, leading ladies, and plot twists.
Cooper's bold and bracing exploration of his transition to male unfurls in a series of inspired vignettes, intimate letters never sent, interviews, lists, and good old-fashioned stories that capture the range of the human experience. Real Man Adventures is a ?sharp, hilarious, incredibly personal, and ingenuously honest look at what the hell it even means to be a man" (Interview magazine).

Reviews
"Humorous, surprising, and heartfelt." ?Publishers Weekly
"At turns distancing and powerfully intimate, like a person consciously revealing himself." ?SF Weekly
"T Cooper's book is full of self consciousness, self examination, and expressions of emotion, and activism, and is inclusive of other voices in an apparently earnest effort at leveling hierarchies of I and Thou, Man and Woman, to networks of experience. It is from this position that Cooper reels to the pace of his journey, a sailor on the rungs of on an exploratory vessel. From here he chronicles both inner and outer journey, not only in his own sights from the crow's nest but in the voices of those with experience?of age, of parenthood and generations, and of the second adolescence that is transition for the transgender man." ?Justin Cascio, Good Men Project
