Alice in Genderland is a memoir written by Richard J. Novic M.D./Alice Novic M.D. It was released by iUniverse in 2005. In this novel, psychiatrist Richard J. Novic writes about his life as a contemporary crossdresser. The book was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award in 2005 for the Transgender category. Plot Summary Alice in Genderland tells the story of Dr. Richard Novic, Harvard-educated psychiatrist and crossdresser. For the most part, he is a man at the office, a husband and a father at home. One evening a week, she is a woman about town, shopping, dining, dancing, and dating a man for over eight years. And it’s all out in the open. Although he now leads a richly expressive life, Dr. Novic suffered since childhood with a secret, and a desire he was in no way equipped to handle. Eventually his secret burst through his denial, a few months before his wedding day. Just once, he felt, while he still could, he had to know how it felt like to be a woman. Like Alice in Wonderland, his curiosity led him to fall headlong down a rabbit hole, through desperate straits, mind-opening surprises, heart-rending changes, and boundless love. By the time he was back on his feet, he was a different person, living a lifestyle he hadn't known existed. Anyone who has struggled to figure out who they are and how they want to live will see himself or herself in this life story. See Also
