Título: Pageboy (eBook): A Memoir
Autor: Elliot Page
Sinopse: NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK by Salon, The Week, Elle, Bustle, and more. The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his truth in a groundbreaking and inspiring memoir about love, family, fameand stepping into who we truly are with strength, joy, and connection. Can I kiss you? It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression hed carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back. With Junos massive success, Elliot became one of the worlds most beloved actors. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels, and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do, until enough was enough. Full of intimate stories, from chasing down secret love affairs to battling body image and struggling with familial strife, Pageboy is a love letter to the power of being seen. With this evocative and lyrical debut, Elliot Page captures the universal human experience of searching for ourselves and our place in this complicated world.
