Carrie Kills A Man: A Memoir

Product Information

By the end I felt such joy and pride for Carrie (though I don’t know her, her words paint her life so vividly) tinged with such anger, frustration and sadness about the hostility trans people face in the world but especially the UK. Viviciously Scots, angry in all the right bits and an author who actually places importance in the good bits of being trans, this book is a gorgeous, real and emotional memoir of not just the author, but every trans person in some degree. Carrie Kills A Man* is about growing up in a world that doesn't want you, and about how it feels to throw a hand grenade into a perfect life.

For my kids and their peers, whether you’re gay or trans or non-binary is probably the least interesting thing about you. Frontline Noir, founded in 2008, is a publisher of current affairs and recent history titles covering controversial topics and events, often written by people who were participants or otherwise affected. Culture is a constant thread within your memoir, whether influences, crushes, favourite bands – who are some cultural figures who had the biggest impact on you and why? Yes, there were tears of anger at the transphobia Carrie and others have had to and continue to face and tears of frustration and disbelief at the sheer lack of humanity within our NHS when it comes to trans healthcare and access to services but…there was also joy; so much joy.Once you have identified which file is best for your use, you will need to manually upload the relevant file to your device.

Things feel really dark right now, but there’s a huge generational shift happening and it’s really beautiful to see. Carrie Kills A Man, CKAM for short, is my first memoir and was published by the brilliant 404 Ink in November 2022. Written with so much heart, honesty and vulnerability, Carrie Marshall sets out to tell her own trans journey and somehow manages to describe everyone's.

Because if you do, then the Carries of the future, their families and their friends will understand that being trans offers possibility and pleasure, not pain or punishment. You can also drag and drop the file onto your Kindle if you attach the device to your PC with a USB cable. Carrie holds nothing back and takes us step by step on her journey through elements I would never even think of.
