Oliver Radclyffe

Oliver performs in our February 2025 Seriously Entertaining show at Joe’s Pub, speaking on the theme “Look Both Ways.”

Oliver Radclyffe is part of the new wave of transgender writers unafraid to address the complex nuances of transition, examining the places where gender identity, sexual orientation, feminist allegiance, social class, and family history overlap. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Electric Literature, The Gay & Lesbian Review, PRINT Magazine and Them. His monograph, ADULT HUMAN MALE, was published by Unbound Edition in 2023, and his memoir, FRIGHTEN THE HORSES, is out now with Roxane Gay Books. He currently lives on the Connecticut coast, where he is raising his four children.
