BECOMING WESTERLY
BECOMING WESTERLY is much more than a book about a celebrated surfer who becomes a woman -- in this case, a dude who becomes a diva. Brisick presents us with a case study of narcissism, of the pathology of celebrity, and a detailed look at the complex world of competitive surfing. It is a funny and painful book, too, and one I greatly enjoyed.
