...Myra Breckinridge, whom no man will ever possess. Clad only in garter belt and one dress shield, I held off the entire elite of the Trobriand Islanders, a race who possess no words for "why" or "because." I am the New Woman whose astonishing history is a poignant amalgam of vulgar dreams and knife-sharp realities.

He calls his dog "noble steed," plays mincing bullfighter to a pickup truck, decorates a barn with painted flowers-and finally floats off to war. But all is probably well. Presented with such a pixie, the Army could do nothing but shrug its shoulders and issue a medical discharge...
