He was a resistance fighter in WW2 Budapest, a travel photographer in South America and an abusive patriarch in 70s New York – but Steven Faludi disappeared from his daughter’s life decades ago. Then, at the age of 76, he came out as transgender and underwent sex reassignment surgery. Susan, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, was drawn back to Hungary and into her estranged father’s life. The resulting memoir is a fascinating exploration of the complexities and contradictions of gender fluidity, Jewish identity and Hungarian history.
