A random collection of over 1910 books and audiobooks authored by or about my transgender, intersex sisters, and gender-nonconforming persons all over the world. I read some of them, and I was inspired by some of them. I met some of the authors and heroines, some of them are my best friends, and I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing some of them. If you know of any transgender biography that I have not covered yet, please let me know.

Sonja Hranjec - Dva tjedna prije Trećeg svjetskog rata

Original title: "Dva tjedna prije Trećeg svjetskog rata" (Two weeks before the Third World War) by Sonja Hranjec.

Sonja Hranjec's first novel, which through the protagonist Matija counting down fourteen days, rushes towards an apocalyptic end. In doing so, she lucidly combines traumatic and creative traits from her life, and her own experience of social and cultural aggression towards her transgender "metamorphosis", leading us through the life of Zagreb's punk subculture. 

The experiences of a young woman in gender transition abound in violence to which she is constantly exposed. She skilfully uses these "unconscious" states to overcome the two-week time frame and evoke childhood and growing up, but also to analyze the imposed social and cultural framework. Escaping into the life of the subculture opens up a creative space filled with music, play, and strong rebellion. The novel abounds in vivid and authentic dialogues that vividly depict Matija's relationship both with the actors and with herself.
