Landa Mabenge will launch his new book Becoming Him: A Trans Memoir of Triumph at The Book Lounge in August.

In April 1981, Mabenge enters this world, trapped in a girl’s body. From an early age, Landa is aware that he does not relate to his female form, despite being socialised as a girl.

In this groundbreaking and brutally honest memoir, Mabenge establishes himself as a resounding and inspirational voice for anyone fighting to define themselves on their own terms.

Mabenge will be in conversation with Mervyn Sloman, director of the Open Book Festival.
