Travesti este un studiu de caz despre un copil hermafrodit, dar şi o explorare a întunecatei sexualităţi adolescentine. Mai presus de orice, însă, acest mic roman, care m-a obsedat şi m-a chinuit mai mult decât orice altă carte a mea, e anabasis-ul meu, drumul meu ascuns şi întortochiat către centrul adânc îngropat al fiinţei mele.
