Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World by Catalina De Erauso
2.0
my friend had found this book laying around in his apartment building's basement. picked it up and read it on a whim. thought it was interesting and sent it my way after he was done.
well, there is A LOT packed in that tiny book. fascinating story to say the least. not terribly well written and i wonder just how much was her story is embellished and well, factual. nonetheless, not terrible and a very, very quick read. oh, and the pacing of the story is most amusing to me. seriously, it's like, ""Oh, you know, i rain away from the convent and all and then this theology professor took me in and let me stay for a few months. Turns out he's married to one of my aunts. ANYWHO, he liked me a whole lot and wanted me to stay and be his student for the long haul but I thought otherwise so then he beat me. . ." lulz.
