Description
In this evocative and lyrical memoir, Elliot Page shares intimate stories about secret love affairs, body image, family conflict, fame and the search for identity. Page recounts discovering himself as a queer and trans person shortly before the world premiere of Juno, the pressure of becoming one of the world’s most beloved actors, and the suffocating demand to perform as a glossy young starlet on and off screen. As his career became both an escape into imagination and a nightmare, he faced criticism and abuse from powerful figures in Hollywood, a painful past and a society determined to force him into a binary. Pageboy is a love letter to the power of being seen and a deeply moving memoir about love, family, fame, and stepping into who we truly are with strength, joy and connection.
