ORLANDO: MY POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY

Paul B. Preciado
2023 France 98 min Languages: English, Spanish, French

Dear Virginia Woolf, I am writing to you today because I wanted to tell the story of my trans non-binary life. The problem, or good fortune, is that you wrote my biography before me when publishing “Orlando”, a century ago.
