DescriptionThe Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his truth. Full of intimate stories, from chasing down secret love affairs to battling body image and struggling with familial strife, Pageboy is a love letter to the power of being seen. With this evocative and lyrical debut, Elliot Page captures the universal human experience of searching for ourselves and our place in this complicated world. ReviewsIt doesn't feel like the smoothed-over result of cautious editing, "as told to" anyone but Page himself. Such rawness, as a document of his life story, only makes it all the more singular. ~ Daily Telegraph Raw, harrowing and often heartbreaking to read... Page's book arrives, as if on cue, in a moment when the trans community is facing even more danger than when he started writing it just over a year ago. ~ LA Times Brutally honest ... Powerful. ~ New York Times Book Review The emergence of our true selves is all of our life's work. Pageboy helps chart the course. ~ Jamie Lee Curtis Searing, deeply moving, and incredibly poignant... This isn't simply a book on what it means to be trans, it's about what it means to be human. ~ Alok Vaid-Menon Author descriptionElliot Page is an Academy Award-nominated actor, a producer and a director who currently stars in the hit series The Umbrella Academy. |
