No one expected that James Morris, the only journalist who had reported on the coronation of Everest in 1953, to later work as a war reporter, travel around the world, have five children and consolidate himself at the top of his intrepid and then very masculine profession, would change gender in 1972 in a practically illegal clinic of Dr. Georges Burou in Casablanca, being of her great professional and personal milestones, of her non-militant transsexuality and of her charming old age secluded in a century-old house in the heart of Wales. The story of wanting to be another, another, and, if possible, another one.
According to Wikipedia, Catharine Jan Morris, born James Humphry Morris, (1926-2020), was a Welsh author, historian, and travel writer, known for the Pax Britannica trilogy (1968–1978), a history of the British Empire, and for portraits of cities, including Oxford, Venice, Trieste, Hong Kong, and New York City. She published under her birth name, James, until 1972, when she had gender reassignment surgery after transitioning from male to female.
