Born in Belgium, the only child of conservative working-class Catholic parents who transplanted their little family to the United States, she felt at home only when she moved to New York City in the early 1970s and found her people among a band of fellow bohemians. Some would die young, from drugs and AIDS, and some would become jarringly famous. Sante flirted with both fates on her way to building an estimable career as a writer. But she still felt like her life was a performance. She was presenting a facade, even to herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSante's memoir braids together two threads of personal narrative: the arc of her life, and her recent step-by-step transition to a place of inner and outer alignment. Sante brings a loving irony to her ac­count of her unsteady first steps; there was much she found she still needed to learn about being a woman after some sixty years cloaked in a man's identity, in a man's world. A marvel of grace and empathy, \u003ci\u003eI Heard Her Call My Name \u003c\/i\u003eparses with great sensitivity many issues that touch our lives deeply, of gender identity and far beyond.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy Sante\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eLow Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Evidence\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Factory of Facts\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Kill All Your Darlings\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Folk Photography\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Other Paris\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Maybe the People Would Be the Times, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNineteen Reservoirs\u003c\/i\u003e.
