Synopsis "The Crossdresser's Secret"

Sometimes truth is both stranger and more delightfully entertaining than fiction.The 18th century was an era of violent contrasts and radical change, intellectualbrilliance and war, spies and diplomatic intrigue, elegance and cruelty. One ofthe century s most mysterious figures was the Chevalier d Eon, one of history sfirst known transvestites who lived as both man and woman. The noble-bornd Eon served as a spy for the French government, infiltrating the Russian courtas a maid of honor to the empress. He became so well known for his activitiesthat he lived the last 30 years of his life openly as a woman (and a Europeancelebrity). Written from the perspective of this historical figure, this ambitiousnovel from much-loved conceptual artist Brian O Doherty reveals d Eon sradical modernity, certified by his attitudes to gender and his examination of hisown nature.
