An artfully portrayed, character driven novel that deals with the topic matter of intersex conditions respectfully, but without kid gloves.

A unique coming of age story. While the main character in this novel is dealing with gender identity issues the main focus of this brilliantly written story is the confusion we all face as we grow into the person we were meant to be. The reader finds himself identifying with the main character's experiences. This is a brilliantly written story. The prose is honest in a way that few authors dare to write. Every word, every action, every thought, is symbolic of the common human experience.
An artfully portrayed, character driven novel that deals with the topic matter of intersex conditions respectfully, but without kid gloves.
How many other well written hemaphrodite stories are there though?
There is one sci-fi I can think of More than Human that rocked
