What Becomes You is a memoir with a difference, a
shared parent-child discovery of the transformation from I to Otherwise, as poet Theodore
Roethke might put it. Aaron Raz Link and his mother, poet Hilda Raz, chart the journey of
the daughter born as Sarah becoming, twenty-nine years later, the son known as Aaron.
Kate Bornstein, author of Hello, Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens,
Freaks, and Other Outlaws, says,
"What Becomes You is a tranny memoir/rant/documentary that reads like a whirlwind
of James Joyce, William S Burroughs, and Sarah Schulman, delivering a dizzying tour of
gender worlds and netherworlds from a multiplicity of viewpoints."
This is a story of love and transformation and a major statement on the meaning of gender
in our times.
