| Summary: | How does someone experience things from the viewpoint of the other sex? It is this question that has led to Guillem Vildot's creation of 'Ruth,' the genre-defining story of a sex change told by the protagonist through a series of letters to an anonymous friend. Demonstrating the sentimental and intellectual intimacy of a man transitioning into a woman, Ruth describes a profound, touching process in which frustrations, ideas of liberty and changes of identity are interwoven. Without descending into easy morbidity or sensationalism, Viladot expresses his indignation at the limitations of both masculine and feminine sensibilities, while championing diversity of thought, love, liberty and, most importantly, desire. |
