This is the opening volume of RJA’s life work, his Unofficial Semi-Autobiography; 1,600 pages long, which has been divided into 5 parts for publishing purposes. Each volume is sold individually or the whole set together. This book in its original typewritten font, unspellchecked, is a collectors dream! We encounter the 5 year old Red in his family home on the South Side of Chicago. Scenes switch fast up to 1998, then jumps back to 1948, to depict more of Red’s history as a boy/girl; a mixed raced tomboy, that defines his childhood in the colored ghetto of Chicago’s South Side. Glimpses of this early crossdresser (age 7), playing baseball outdoors in the alley with other boys, or inside with chemistry, and erector sets & refusing to play with dolls. Becoming aware of his sexuality later in teenage, by reading pulp novels such as Journey to a Woman, and Ann Bannon’s Bebo Brinker series. Trans auto biographies -- except this one is different----Transman is an artist, a spiritual searcher, & a sexual libertine.
