Simple Man: The Autobiography of Peter West Book 1: Simple Man

©2007, Ruadhan J McElroy
ISBN:

Peter West is amazingly well-adjusted for somebody in his position. He was castrated at the age of nine and then raised by the "normal" member of his family of eccentrics and circus performers. In this tranche de vie opus of a castrato singer in the late 20th Century, the concepts of identity and masculinity are addressed in a series of vignettes wherein it is one's conduct rather than one's apparent anatomy or biological realities that determine one's sense of self, and without question.




Book 2: Bed In the Corner (working title)


During his last year of high school, Ripley Haggarty meets Padraic and Pearse Kinsey, conjoined twins from Bangor, Northern Ireland, who eventually introduce him to "the most irritating person on the face of the planet".
