The Days of Anna Madrigal


Shirley J.          Adult Fiction               A Transgender Life,   Burning Man, Regrets and Reparations 


The Days of Anna Madrigal by Armistead Maupin (Book 9 in the Tales of the City series)  270 pages

An enjoyable story of a transgender woman named Anna Madrigal who lives in San Francisco and is ninety-two.   It is very much a coming of age story, a coming of sexual orientation story and a last hurrah at Burning Man for wanton pagan debauchery and fun.    Anna confides her life story how she became who she is, the regrets she bears and the best way she knows how to honor what has gone before and since.   Fun details of burning man, bittersweet memories of several lives touched  and proof that rough beginnings don't hold us back, they just teach us how to proceed.   Excellent story,    I recommend this one for mature teens on up
