P. Carl’s Memoir As Inspiration: Elliot Page’s Time Magazine Interview

Performing Arts Senior Distinguished Artist-in-Residence P. Carl’s 2020 memoir, Becoming a Man: The Story of a Transition, was referenced as an inspiration to actor Elliot Page, who gave his first interview to Time since announcing he is transgender.

“He [Page] was inspired by trailblazing trans icons like Janet Mock and Laverne Cox, who found success in Hollywood while living authentically. Trans writers helped him understand his feelings; Page saw himself reflected in P. Carl’s memoir Becoming a Man.”
