“Tranny is a remarkable piece of writing, dark and surprising, sometimes ugly and occasionally hilarious. Its first-person narrator is one of the strangest, messed-up, most pathetic—and yet, wondrously resilient people I’ve encountered. Trust me, you have never read anything remotely like Tranny.”

---The Post

I paid $500 to have my balls cut off.
Not by a doctor, mind you, well, maybe he used to be a doctor or was about to be a doctor, but right now he has a basement in Brooklyn where you go once for an examine, $500 upfront, and then another $500 two days later, before the operation, and he gives you some pills to keep infections away. Then he does it in like half an hour. I was on this table, like gynecologists have, and my legs were up in stirrups, the first time ever, and he gave me several needle shots in my crotch and four Vicodin. I was awake the whole time and i wanted to tell him to stop but by the time I got up the courage to say something, he looked up, smiled and said, “Almost done.”
It was too late.

Born one way, but living another, Nicky K. has it all:

low standards,
unfulfilled dreams,
tragic mulatto angst,
a history of sexual abuse,
a dead Daddy who is now a pestering car wreck mangled ghost who won't quit criticizing,
several obese, depressed, White women as co-dependent BFFs;
hostile and enviable male to female transsexuals in her therapy group;
a friend/former pimp who will only walk five steps ahead of her so as not to be spooked by her bad hair days

and a host of (pseudo, kinda, sorta, maybe) boyfriends including:

an ex-convict/former model who was HIV infected by a TV star,
stalked classmates in their dorm rooms,
a married skoliosexual employer
husband material in a Dominican man., who loves her male appendage….a little too much,
a porn star who secretly dates her roommate,
a Pakistani conductor of the 7 train in Queens (with a violent wife),
a childhood molester who she dates on and off again,
and, a half brother who she's infatuated with....who is willing to mess around.

Scrambling from one madness to another delusion to another reality trauma, borne of parents:

a Greek/Black preternaturally, beautiful mother,
a new stepfather who think the Republican saturated Orthodox Church has the answers to sexuality confusion.
a vicious, living (now dead) father, who even his own parents think is evil.

Nicky K tries practicing, and occasionally turning, every trick in the book, for acceptance and success. From auditioning for Broadway shows, to a decade long unsuccessful long college career, to stripping, to being a secretary with benefits, to hardcore prostitution and occasional degradation in sex clubs or from picking up random men. All in a mesmerizing attempt to get up the balls (and cash), to have them cut off…..all told by Nicky K in her own words.
