    Widely praised author Jennifer Finney Boylan will read from her works at Ursinus College. Boylan grew up in the Delaware County area as James Boylan and is teaching at Ursinus this semester as the college’s first Updike-Hoyer Distinguished Visiting Writer. She is the author of eleven books, including She's Not There: a Life in Two Genders, one of the first best-selling books by a transgendered American, and I'm Looking Through You: Growing Up Haunted. In She’s Not There, Boylan movingly and skillfully tells of her gender journey in three narratives, including her life story, her marriage to the same woman she married when she was a man, and her friendship with Colby College teaching colleague and fiction writer Richard Russo. Her new young adult series starts with Falcon Quinn and the Black Mirror aimed at those in middle grades and examining whether it is better to embrace one’s true self or to fit in, possibly suppressing your truth.
