Book summary
A while ago, I embraced the identity of Taylor, marking a pivotal moment in a journey that had begun much earlier than most, including myself, could ever imagine. Before this transformation, I was perceived as just another man, yet beneath this facade lay a struggle so profound and enveloping it cast a shadow over my every moment. This struggle was rooted in a deeply held truth that felt too monumental to voice, a truth that, when finally acknowledged, would redefine my entire existence. As a writer, my battles were not confined to the complex narrative construction or character development; they were intrinsically linked to a personal odyssey towards self-realisation, one that murmured persistently of a longing to embrace my true identity as a woman.
In the midst of this internal turmoil, I created the character of Charlotte Kominsky, a ghost of the past that seemed to haunt me even more than I could believe. She emerged in her very cunning and manipulative figure within the realm of mess that my life used to be, trying to pass me a message that only her seemed to have understood. Yet, unbeknownst to me at the time, Charlotte's journey paralleled my own in ways I could scarcely have anticipated. She became both my adversary and my ally, mirroring the tangled web of my internal conflict and serving as a reflection of the multifaceted struggle I faced. Our stories unfolded in parallel, within the shadowed confines of creativity where we both found our genesis, and eventually into the light of understanding and acceptance that heralded my ability to articulate my truth to the world.
He Fell from Venus is more than just a narrative, or a fiction, it is an experience of themes encompassing identity, metamorphosis, and the courage required to confront your deepest questioning head-on. Through this tale, I navigated the tumultuous waters from despair to triumph in the literary arena, realising along the way that I am not merely sculpting Charlotte's fate, but actively molding my own identity. My transformation transcends the act of putting pen to paper; it involves a profound reimagining of my life's narrative. As the story unfolds, both Charlotte and I embark on a quest for redemption, acting as catalysts for change not only in our lives but in the broader narrative of understanding identity. This tale transcends the personal account of gender transition to touch upon the universal quest for authenticity in the face of daunting challenges. Immerse yourself in a journey that promises not only to unveil the struggles and triumphs of coming into one's own but also to inspire reflection on the essence of identity and self-discovery.

Great Read!

I really enjoyed this story. A brutally honest narrative of existence in the wrong body, written from the heart. At times the translation from the original French was a bit sticky but this is explained in the foreword notes. Thank you for sharing your story.
From Tara Jenkinson Cignarella on Amazon.com (September 2021)
Highly recommended if this is the genre for you

A brave telling of the reality of being transgender. Taylor writes a story that will captivate and educate anyone.
Recommended For: Those who want or need to read a story about the ups and downs of being transgender.

Story's quite good, not always easy to follow.
★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
You can tell that this is a transition into English from French. It doesn't always flow like you would expect from someone who speaks English as their first language. Although the author lived and apparently does now live in England now, the book feels more like it was written in American English then British. It's not full of British slang you get from a lot of other English authors.
Aside from things not always being worded perfectly to my ear, the story is quite good. It takes you into the mind of someone living in denial of who they are and trying to work it out. With unhelpful at best, and almost evil at times parents. The struggle to make it on their on in foreign cities and all the entails. There is plenty of drama. I didn't always follow the Charlotte character. Kind of an imaginary friend/guardian angel type. It works to get into the head of the main character, but it was clearly written from the perspective of someone in the future with knowledge of what was to come. So it often doesn't give an accurate look of what was going on in the MC head at that moment. And having Charlotte get sick I didn't always follow what was going on there. Still it was an interesting look into the hash realities and mental trauma that can take place growing up trans without much of a support system.
