I'm a teenaged boy having an identity crisis (reprint from May 1, 2007)
I'm reading this great book and the writer (a guy) writes from the perspective of a few different, equally weird people of both genders. In reading one of the stories about a teenage boy (and while still suspended in the state of disbelief where I believed the character in a novel was a real person) I realized that this kid thinks the same way I thought when I was a kid -- and the way I often do now. In reading one of the stories about a 30-ish female writer I realized that this woman thinks the same way I think now -- and the writing style is eerily similar to my writing, fiction or otherwise, which is often written from the perspective of a 30-ish female writer. Which means one of two things -- 1) I think like a man writing in the guise of a woman or 2) I am secretly a teenage boy.
