The title says it all.  Becoming Agie is comprised of two short stories and focuses on Agie, a male to female transgender scientist.  In the first novella, Usher Syndrome, Agie's transformation is incomplete, and although she still vaguely resembles a man, she attracts the attention of a gay man named Ben.  In the second short story, Pumpkin Day, Agie crosses paths with a wealthy gentleman named Jake.  His crisis of conscience and her desire to solve a disappearance bring them together.The book was well-written and even though I didn't feel very connected to the subject matter, I could sense plenty of feeling in the stories.  Admittedly, these novellas weren't something I would normally read, but it was an interesting afternoon of reading, nonetheless.
