    Written on the Body if you want literary and slippery. also Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl is a different flavor but the reinvention hits.

    Authentic Peace / late-in-life coming out memoirs helped me more than fiction for a while. then fiction felt possible again.

    Last Night at the Telegraph Club isn't late bloomer aged but the secrecy/recognition stuff still resonated.
