Produktbeschreibung
Stuart Walker Purloin was given the name Margarite Ecclesia at birth. Never comfortable in a woman's body, in early adulthood, Margarite completes transgender surgery in Holland after living through the hell of a small, southern town as a "transvestite." Returning to Margarite's hometown as Stuart, they are immediately targeted as a convenient solution to a murder case and sent to a maximum-security prison in Raiford, Florida; he is inmate 123047. The journey through this hell to Stuart is much like Dante's journey through the inferno. During a life in the hell of bigotry and imprisonment, three Virgil-like saviors appear unexpectedly to guide Margarite, and then Stuart, through a modern inferno. A novel, Guideless the Rivers' Course, tells a story of self-exploration, resolution, and redemption from the vagaries of prison for an inmate who used to be a woman, unexpected salvation for a good man who lived inside a good woman, and ultimately, the story of a town where ghosts emerge to protect one of its own.

Stefano Duetagli, which translates from Italian to English as "Stephen Two-Edged," is the penname chosen by this first-time author, a professor of psychology turned university administrator. Duetagli is an eighth-generation Floridian who has lived a varied life-aside from his current vocation, he has co-owned a bar, been a colonel in the Virginia Militia, waited tables, and spent time as an itinerant professor for the Department of Defense in Western Europe. In the writing of "Guideless the Rivers' Course," Duetagli draws on his three years' experience teaching college courses to inmates in the Florida prison system.
