Show Notes
Today on The Culture Show, P Carl. He built a life as a queer woman. But all the while he had a yearning to become more fully realized. For him that meant transitioning to another gender. He wrote about it in his 2020 memoir, “Becoming a Man,” which he adapted for the stage in a play that made its world premier at the American Repertory Theater.
From there it’s multi-media, artist Miranda July on her new novel, a coming-of-middle-age story about a woman who is either experiencing a turning point or is turning her world upside down.
Finally, artist Lorraine O’Grady’s slow burn of a career. At nearly 90- years-old she is having a moment–from receiving a Guggenheim fellowship to having her first ever museum retrospective at the Davis Museum.
