" --The Washington Post " Sante's bold devotion to complexity and clarity makes this an exemplary memoir. It is a clarion call to live one's most authentic life." -- The Boston Globe "Not to be missed, I Heard Her Call My Name is a powerful example of self-reflection and a vibrant exploration of the modern dynamics of gender and identity." -- Lit Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2024 An iconic writer's lapidary memoir of a life spent pursuing a dream of artistic truth while evading the truth of her own gender identity, until, finally, she turned to face who she really was For a long time, Lucy Sante felt unsure of her place. Born in Belgium, the only child of conservative working-class Catholic parents who transplanted their little family to the United States, she felt at home only when she moved to New York City in the early 1970s and found her people among a band of fellow bohemians. Some would die young, from drugs and AIDS, and some would become jarringly famous. Sante flirted with both fates on her way to building an estimable career as a writer. But she still felt like her life was a performance. She was presenting a facade, even to herself. Sante's memoir braids together two threads of personal narrative: the arc of her life, and her recent step-by-step transition to a place of inner and outer alignment. Sante brings a loving irony to her ac­count of her unsteady first steps; there was much she found she still needed to learn about being a woman after some sixty years cloaked in a man's identity, in a man's world. A marvel of grace and empathy, I Heard Her Call My Name parses with great sensitivity many issues that touch our lives deeply, of gender identity and far beyond.

  1. Jailman Tough

    Absolutely PERFECT transaction! I ordered this book mid April, and when I hadn't seen any activity for a few days I decided to contact the seller (normally items paid are usually shipped within 2-3 days and this was going a week, so it raised a red flag). Due to my own ignorance, I was reassured immediately that the book's cover was being hand crafted and would take time, explaining the extra time. Long story short, this was worth the wait!Very responsive seller, HIGHLY recommended. THANK YOU!

    Everything is fine, but the seller told me I could have an engraving placed on the cover. I sent them a picture of the engraving, and they acknowledged they got it, but when I got the item they never did it. In addition they claim they never got my picture which is not true, seeing I have their email response. I was disappointed by this, but I would have gotten this book even without the engraving, so all is well.

    I was very happy to see how well packaged my book I ordered was, double rain-proof, because it was left on the steps and was quite wet from heavy rain. But, inside double wrapping, it was very dry and in great condition. Very happy with seller!
