The Center for the Study of Women and Society invites you to join us for our final book talk of the year with Oliver Radclyffe, author of FRIGHTEN THE HOURSES, 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, on

Thursday 05/15 6:00-7:30 PM in the Skylight Room (GC-9100).

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.
