Autobiography of an Androgyne

Ralph Werther's Autobiography of an Androgyne charts his emerging self-understanding as a member of the "third sex" and documents his explorations of queer underworlds in turn-of-the-century New York City. Werther presents a sensational life narrative that begins with a privileged upper-class birth and a youthful realization of his difference from other boys. He concludes with a decision to undergo castration. Along the way, he recounts intimate stories of adolescent sexual encounters with adult men and women, and an immersion into the subculture of male "inverts."Werther, Ralph is the author of 'Autobiography of an Androgyne', published 2008 under ISBN 9780813543000 and ISBN 0813543002.
