"Thomas Page McBee’s Man Alive hurtled through my
life. I read it in a matter of hours. It’s a confession, it’s
a poem, it's a time warp, it’s a brilliant work of art. I bow
down to McBeehis humility, his sense of humor, his
insightfulness, his structural deftness, his ability to put
into words what is often said but rarely, with such visceral
clarity and beauty, communicated."Heidi Julavits,
author of The Vanishers and The Uses of
Enchantment
What does it really mean to be a man?
In Man Alive, Thomas Page McBee attempts to answer
that question by focusing on two of the men who most impacted
his life&mash;one, his otherwise ordinary father who abused
him as a child, and the other, a mugger who almost killed
him. Standing at the brink of the life-changing decision to
transition from female to male, McBee seeks to understand
these examples of flawed manhood and tells us how a brush
with violence sent him on the quest to untangle a sinister
past, and freed him to become the man he was meant to
be.
Man Alive engages an extraordinary personal story to
tell a universal onehow we all struggle to create ourselves,
and how this struggle often requires risks. Far from a
transgender transition tell-all, Man Alive grapples
with the larger questions of legacy and forgiveness, love and
violence, agency and invisibility.
Praise for Man Alive:
"Man Alive is a sweet, tender hurt of a memoir ...
about forgiveness and self-discovery, but mostly it’s about
love, so much love. McBee takes us in his capable hands and
shows us what it takes to become a man who is gloriously,
gloriously alive."Roxane Gay, author of Bad
Feminist and An Untamed State
"Thomas Page McBee's story of how he came to claim both his
past and his future is by turns despairing and hopeful,
exceptional and relatable. To read it is to witness the birth
of a fuller, truer self. I loved this book."Ann
Friedman, columnist, New York Magazine
"'Whoever's child I am, my body belongs to me,' McBee writes,
and his book is an elegant, generous transcription of the
journey toward this incandescent, non-aggrandized,
life-sustaining form of self-possessionthe kind that
emanates from dispossession, rather than running from
it."Maggie Nelson, author of Bluets and The
Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning
"Well aware that memory and identity rarely follow a linear
path, Thomas Page McBee attempts to answer the question,
'What does it really mean to be a man?' Weaving past and
present to do so, the book's journey connects violence,
masculinity and forgiveness. McBee has an intelligent heart,
and it beats in every sentence of this gorgeous
book."Saeed Jones, author of Prelude to
Bruise
"Exquisitely written and bristling with emotion, this
important book reminds us of how much vulnerability and
violence inheres to any identity. A real achievement of form
and narrative.”Jack Halberstam, author of The
Queer Art of Failure
