HELP ME PLEASE

Dearest friends, as you all may know, I am in the process of writing my postgraduate thesis. And through this post, I'd like to ask for your help. Please please answer these two questions, I'd be very very thankful :)

1. Do you know any novel that talks about transgender besides Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides?
I am analyzing Breakfast on Pluto by Patrick McCabe but I am afraid if I only use one novel, my thesis won't reach 80 pages. So I am looking for another corpus.

2. What do you guys want to know about transgender issue?
I am focusing on identity issue, but this topic is still very broad (you know, identity is really complex actually). I have discussed about the relation of subjectivity and body, also how relation and interaction to other people build Patrick's identity. Any more idea?

Thank thank you very much for your help. I really really appreciate it.

Truly yours, Ayu xx.

Oh by the way, Dini, when can we meet and swap books?

hmm I vaguely remember transgender issues on Jonathan Coe's House of Sleep, although it's not the book's main concern. Apalagi yah.. Yang paling membekas sih malah film, Transamerica. Hehe
