What is the difference between men and women? Join PEN America in partnership with Vroman’s Bookstore for a special conversation with PEN America President and bestselling author, Jennifer Finney Boylan, on her new book– Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us. Finney Boylan’s new book not only examines the divisions—as well as the common ground—between the genders, but also serves as a reflection on her own experiences, both difficult and joyful, as a transgender American.
With Boylan’s trademark humor and poignancy, Cleavage is a sharp, witty, and captivating look at the triumphs and losses of a life lived in two genders. Don’t miss this illuminating conversation between Finney Boylan and award-winning author, Colm Tóibín, as they discuss a hope for a future in which we all have the freedom to live joyfully as men, as women, and in the space between us.
