Please join us for Transpositive on KBOO Community Radio on Tuesday, April 15th as we talk with Lucy Sante, author of "I Heard Her Call My Name" (A Memoir of Transition). This powerful piece weaves together two timelines: the author's first six months of transition and the sweeping arc of her entire life. Told with brevity but rich in vivid digressions and a healthy dose of gusto, the narrative invites readers on a scenic and emotionally resonant journey. It’s the kind of story that might make you laugh, might make you cry—or maybe both. What sets it apart is not only the content but the voice: compelling, insistent, and deeply human. The author’s drive to be understood pulses through every sentence, not just as a personal compulsion, but as a recognition that their story reflects many others currently under threat. At its core, this is a story about what happens when someone delays a necessary transition—what it means to live a lie, and what it takes to survive once that lie unravels. Sante is an author, critic and an artist and is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books.
