“[Morris’s] groundbreaking memoir on the transition, Conundrum, which revealed nothing about [his] sexual life, sharply divided opinions. It was a bestseller that attracted ridicule and was condemned as mawkish and coy. Germaine Greer dismissed its “self-indulgent impressionistic prose” and commented shrewdly, “Elizabeth’s unbroken silence is the truest measure of Jan Morris’s enduring masculinity” (“Dead right,” Morris’s daughter Suki said later).”
I’m sure this all sounds horribly familiar to the Transwidows. Morris laid the groundwork alright.
