Something That May Shock and Discredit You
by Daniel Mallory Ortberg
A new book from Daniel Mallory Ortberg, co-founder of cult literary site The Toast and author of the bestselling Texts from Jane Eyre, charts his recent gender transition. A moving and insightful account of a complex emotional and physical journey, Something That May Shock and Discredit You is told with humour and takes shapeshifting form, leaping easily from pop culture references to biblical analysis, finely-tuned argument to satirical listicle, then back again.
Five Books deputy editor Cal Flyn spoke to the author to find out more.
