Alice in Genderland is the first ever memoir by a crossdresser who is
not content to live behind closed doorsand who takes it much further
than his straighter, more circumspect peers might ever care to go. Most
of the time, Harvard-educated psychiatrist Richard Novic is Rick, a man
at the office or a husband and father at home. But one night a week, he
is Alice, a woman about town, shopping, dining, dancing, and dating a
man for nearly a decade.
In contrast to the life he leads
today, Rick Novic suffered since his sporty, nerdy boyhood with a
secret, a desire he was in no way equipped to handle, but one that
eventually burst through his denial, a few months before his wedding
day. Just once, he felt, while he still could, he had to know how it
felt to be a woman.
Like Alice in Wonderland, his curiosity
led him to fall headlong down a rabbit hole, through desperate straits,
mind-opening surprises, heart-rending changes, gritty sex, and boundless
love. By the time he was back on his feet, he was a different person,
living a lifestyle he hadnt known existed. Anyone who has struggled to
figure out who they are and how they want to live will surely appreciate
this informative and engaging life story.
Praise for Alice in Genderland
Few
know the transgender scene like GIRL TALK magazines Alice Novic. This
exciting new memoir by her male alter ego takes us along with him and
the people he loves, as he encounters and explores each twist and turn
around him and within him. As much Lewis and Clark as it is Lewis
Carroll, Alice in Genderland blazes a new trail in the world of
crossdressing.

More provocative than soothing, Alice in Genderland is fascinating and well worth reading.
