Pageboy: A Memoir
by Elliot Page, narrated by Elliot Page
What it is: The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his truth.
Narration: "Actor Elliot Page, who starred in the movie JUNO, gives an emotional, intimate performance of his gorgeous memoir. In a nonlinear structure that reflects the way that queer and trans lives often unfold, he shares moments of joy and heartbreak throughout his life--growing up in Nova Scotia, coming out as gay and then trans, falling in and out of love, and the toll of being closeted. He narrates these memories with an openness that will make listeners feel like they're right there with him. It's the quiet rawness of his voice that makes this audiobook so moving. This performance hardly feels like a performance at all. If you listen to one celebrity memoir this year, make it this one." - AudioFile
