Ergreifend und ungeschönt erzählt Elliot Page in seinem Memoir von seinem langen Weg zu sich selbst Elliot Page wurde mit Hauptrollen in Juno oder Inception weltberühmt. Mit 33, im Dezember 2020, outete er sich über Instagram als trans. In seinem ersten Buch erzählt Elliot Page die Geschichte seines einzigartigen Lebens, das ihm seine Transition gerettet hat. Vom Aufwachsen in der kanadischen Hafenstadt Halifax, vom Erwachsenwerden im von traditionellen Geschlechterrollen besessenen Hollywood. Vom Entdecken der eigenen, tabuisierten Sexualität und der tiefgreifenden Scham vor dem eigenen Körper. Von traumatischen Hassverbrechen, von fantastisch anmutenden Erfolgen. Vom Finden der eigenen Identität und der andauernden Reise zu sich selbst. Ein Buch von aufwühlender Schönheit und politischer Schlagkraft. 'Dies ist die Geschichte von jemandem, der sich selbst findet - inmitten von Hindernissen, Scham, Hoffnungslosigkeit und Schmerz. Der daraus auftaucht und auf eine Weise erblüht, die er nie für möglich gehalten hätte.' Elliot Page

Pageboy: A Memoir

Brought to you by Penguin. Full of intimate stories, from chasing down secret love affairs to battling body image and struggling with familial strife, Pageboy is a love letter to the power of being seen. With this evocative and lyrical debut, Elliot Page captures the universal human experience of searching for ourselves and our place in this complicated world. 'Can I kiss you?' It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. The unthinkable. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back. With Juno's massive success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do. Until enough was enough. The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his story in a groundbreaking and inspiring memoir about love, family, fame - and stepping into who we truly are with strength, joy and connection. © Elliot Page 2023 (P) Penguin Audio 2023
