Book Reading: Oliver Radclyffe

Please join the Center for the Study of Women and Society for a book talk with Oliver Radclyffe, author of FRIGHTEN THE HORSES, "a textured, sharply written memoir about coming of age in the fourth decade of one’s life and embracing one's truest self in a world that demands gender fit in neat boxes."

Oliver Radclyffe is part of the new wave of transgender writers unafraid to address the complex nuances of transition, examining the places where gender identity, sexual orientation, feminist allegiance, social class, and family history overlap. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Electric Literature, The Gay & Lesbian Review, PRINT Magazine and Them. His monograph, ADULT HUMAN MALE, was published by Unbound Edition in 2023. His memoir, FRIGHTEN THE HORSES, is out now with Roxane Gay Books. He currently lives on the Connecticut coast, where he is raising his four children.

Please note: one lucky attendee will win a copy of FRIGHTEN THE HORSES. You can pick up your raffle ticket at the event. Good luck!

This event is co-sponsored by the Center for the Study of Women and Society, CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ+ Studies, and Biography and Memoir.
