In love with a woman but afraid of what might happen at the moment of truth, Cal Stephanides decides to reveal a secret. Cal has lived as both a man and a woman. It all began in 1922, when Cal’s grandparents escape to America after the war. Calliope is born and seems destined to embody the legend of those girls who become men upon reaching a certain age. And so begins this novel, which spans eight decades of a family’s history and is a hugely ambitious attempt at writing the Great American Novel. / Enamorado de una mujer, pero temeroso de lo que pueda suceder en el momento de la verdad, Cal Stephanides decide revelar su secreto. Porque Cal, como Tiresias, ha vivido como mujer y como hombre. Todo empieza en 1922, cuando los abuelos de Cal huyen tras la guerra y se instalan en América, en casa de una prima de su marido. Y las dos parejas tendrán a sus hijos casi al mismo tiempo, y éstos, en un doble o triple juego de consanguinidades, se casarán y serán los padres de Cal que, cuando nace, es Calliope, y parece destinada a encarnar la leyenda sobre esas niñas que cuando llegaban a una cierta edad se transformaban en hombres. Y así comienza esta novela, que abarca ocho décadas en la historia de una familia y es uno de los intentos más ambiciosos de escribir la Gran Novela Americana. Premio Pulitzer 2003.
