Hermaphrodeity
()
About this ebook
harrumphs in Hermaphrodeity, a grand comedy of gender
surprises. Boy or girl--choose one. Millie or Willie. This
legendary autobiography of M. W. Niemann earned nomination for
the National Book Award. It's a comic epic of sex, a subversive
saga of love. The mythic author's double-trouble organs--female
and male both--inspire a battle, inch by inch, from sensitive
girlhood to tough punk in a boys gang, from geeky Harvard Man to
alluring mistress of scientists and scions, from underage
physicist to stone age archaeologist, from father-motherhood
to fertility goddess, from hunted freedom fighter to visionary
tycoon, from infamous prisoner accused of treason...to celebrated
winner of the Nobel Prize in Poetry. These are the taboo
confessions of a literary titan, a poet who pursued science,
politics, and wealth. Even Divinity. Brilliant and learned,
Hermaphrodeity romps through the disputed geography of sex
until Millie/Willie, embodying the life force, plumbs the
ultimate secret of manwomankind.
