Pageboy - Intímna spoveď herca o hľadaní vlastnej identity
Pageboy je hlboko osobný príbeh herca Elliota Pagea. Zaznamenáva v ňom tŕnistú cestu samého seba ako transrodového človeka a zachytáva aj univerzálnu ľudskú skúsenosť hľadania si svojho miesta vo svete.
Na Oscara nominovaný umelec nás vo svojom debute zavedie do kanadského Halifaxu, v ktorom vyrastal, do domu svojej nevlastnej matky, od ktorej nikdy necítil vrúcnosť, ale tiež do zákulisia filmového sveta, v ktorom zažil okrem iného aj sexualizované násilie a otvorenú homofóbiu. Čitateľstvu však napriek všetkému dokazuje, že pocity radosti, odvahy a nádeje sa dajú nájsť aj po dlhých rokoch, keď sa zdali byť nedosiahnuteľné.

Pageboy - A Memoir
Before the world premiere of Juno Elliot Page was on the edge of self-discovery. But with Juno's massive success and his dreams coming true, Elliot found himself trapped by the spotlight and the pressure to perform was suffocating him. Until enough was enough. From chasing down secret love affairs to battling body image and working through his difficult childhood, Pageboy is a beautiful, intimate book about searching for ourselves and our place in the world.
Pageboy
Full of intimate stories, from chasing down secret love affairs to battling body image and struggling with familial strife, Pageboy is a love letter to the power of being seen.
With this evocative and lyrical debut, Elliot Page captures the universal human experience of searching for ourselves and our place in this complicated world.
'Can I kiss you?' It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened.
In front of everyone. The unthinkable. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person.
Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back.
With Juno's massive success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him.
He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do.
Until enough was enough.
The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his story in a groundbreaking and inspiring memoir about love, family, fame - and stepping into who we truly are with strength, joy and connection.
