Watch the Book Trailer for T Cooper’s ‘Real Man Adventure’

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Paige Cohen in Videos & Trailers

Earlier this month McSweeney’s released author T Cooper’s most recent book Real Man Adventures, a “brash, wildly inventive, and often comic exploration of the paradoxes and pleasures of masculinity.”

From the publisher:

[T Cooper] takes us through his transition into identifying as male, and how he went on to marry his wife and become an adoring stepfather of two children. Alternately bemused and exasperated when he feels compelled to explain all this, Cooper never loses his sense of humor…A brilliant collage of letters, essays, interviews (with his brother, with his wife, with the parents of other transgender children), artwork, and sharp evocations of difficult conversations with old friends and puzzled bureaucrats, Real Man Adventures will forever change what you think about what it means to be a man.

You can check out the trailer below and read an excerpt from the book here.

Chris Colfer fans will be happy to hear that the Golden Globe-winning Glee star, who made his first book debut back in July with The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell (a best-selling children’s book), strikes again with his newest film Struck By Lightning.
