In 2003, author Jennifer Finney Boylan published She’s Not There, which became the first bestselling work by a transgender American and established Boylan as a go-to source for public conversation about the impact of gender on our lives. More than two decades later, her new memoir, Cleavage, returns with older and wiser eyes to examine the joys and the struggles of being transgender.

In this episode of Library Talks, Boylan sits down with bestselling author Roxanne Gay to discuss Cleavage and her hope for a future in which we all have the freedom to live joyfully as men, as women, and in the space between us.
