The term “Paralian” comes from ancient Greek origins, meaning “one who lives by the sea”. There could be no more apt title for Liam Klenk’s memoir. In Paralian - Not Just Transgender, he recounts the sweeping and nomadic movements of his life via the lens of the rivers, lakes and oceans by which he periodically makes a home. Water is the element of change and transition. It is also the element at the heart of so many human-nature entanglements; the resource that has always defined and guided the movements of our species. Fittingly for a tale of bodies, travels, challenges, transitions, and wandering, Liam uses bodies of water to parse the sections of his life like chapters in a narrative.
The voice and experience of Liam Klenk is tender, vulnerable, and honest. It comes to the reader unassumingly and asks only for a patient ear. As the title would suggest, Paralian - Not Just Transgender tells a tale far wider in scope than Liam’s courageous journey through gender reassignment. If anything, the story is about the events that occur before, during, and afterwards. Paralian tells the story of a human being finding his place in this world against a lifetime of adversity.
Written with an engaging sense of humour, this incredibly frank memoir challenges common stereotypes and will find readers still thinking about what they have read long after they finish the book.
Paralian has won best debut book at the 2016 Rainbow Awards. It has also been named as “Recommended Read” by several book review platforms including Bookmuse, Bookbag, Reader’s Favorite, etc.

Paralian Not Just Transgender eBook Liam Klenk Reviews
Everytime my eyes run across the cover, i know I'll find something new in each chapter. To experience his mond and watch him evolve through each event in his life, each person he meets, and each new experience he has. You'll find within the pages that you'll laugh, and you'll cry, and maybe even find pieces of yourself along the way. This book is a treasure within itself and was truly written with love in mind. Love of adventure, of passion, self discovery, determination, and laughter. I encourage anyone to take the time to read this book, and get a change in perspective afterwards.
Considering the misfortunes that has shaped the author, from a premature birth to being an orphan born in the wrong body, having a homosexual parent, target of bully at school and later in life at work, being a murder suspect, stubborn-headed romantic and workaholic, Liam takes us through a journey of his life. His generous and honest way of telling us every single intricate detail and feeling about his past has left me hooked onto his book from day one. I couldn't put the book down and have had many late nights due to his humour and sincerity. If one's ever feeling down or defeated, read this book and one will probably find that their life is actually a bed of roses compared to Liam's. His constant struggles with exceptional challenges in life has given him a more strong and invincible soul. In this day and age of prejudice and discrimination, reading into the life of this transgender man will show that these people are as human and normal, just like anyone else. Highly recommended.
The most incredibly inspiring journey, artfully transcribed in the most beautiful fashion. I've just finished Liam's magical 'Paralian' and wish I could instantly wipe my memory, just so I can relive every single word again. Liam's writing has the incredible power to transport you in person, to every 'scene'; and that is a very rare find in a writer. His obvious sense of adventure and motivation to experience as much of life as possible, and with passion! - is the perfect backdrop for a 'great read'. The addition of his own challenges of being a transgender male, adds yet another layer of emotion and interest which draws you in even closer. This by proxy offers a sense of compassion and attachment, which I believe is the ultimate destination; for a reader to find that affinity with the main character. In this case, the very real Liam Klenk. I laughed and cried my way through each page and it left with me with such a grand admiration for this human. Thank you Liam for this very personal account of your exceptional life.
Paralian is one of those books which, after finishing it, you feel at a bit of a loss as to what to read next because you know it will be hard to find something as enthralling!
It is one of the best books I have ever read, and definitely the best autobiography (I usually get bored at some point in an autobiography, but certainly didn’t with this one).
The author tells a very open story of his, at times, jaw-dropping adventures and experiences during his journey, which not only takes him around the world but also leads him to realize, accept and finally embrace the truth of being transgender.
I love the witty descriptions and comparisons in this well-written account, which also contains moments of sorrow and happiness, frustration and exuberance but a prevailing joy for life. Liam gets knocked down again and again, but always gets back up – not only for his own good but very often for the good of others too.
An extremely motivating, heart-warming story. Liam is a true inspiration to all of us.
Paralian Not Just Transgender
This is a phenomenal autobiography. It will catapult you back into your own childhood, inciting nostalgia as you draw similarities between the one your reading and your own. It will rekindle your own passions - for work, for life, for your extra curricular activities, inspiring your dreams for your future as well as your now. It will remind you in a gentle way that judgment goes both ways, whether it’s religious, sexuality, personality, racism etc…… and that everybody makes mistakes. It will make you laugh out loud. You will feel a little teary. You will feel a desperate need to join a water-sporting group, have a party and/or road trip with a group of your loved ones, go see a circus performance, and pursue your passions.
I cannot recommend this book enough…. In fact… I may as well go and read it again right now.
Paralian by William Kieran Klenk is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early June while on a road trip to and from Telluride, Colorado.
Just as Liam assures in the introduction that his story is written from the heart, my own heart opened warmly to receive it. His self-narrative is driven by water and German philosophy, all working to jetty him past a cloistered romping childhood, a self-inquisitive, sensuous teenagehood, and an artistic, motivated, abundantly caminoistic adulthood. I enjoyed every year, every moment immensely and followed him through times of trauma and celebration, squeezing his hand therapeuticly all the way.
1) I really do like reading books like this… I find them simply fascinating.
2) I finally got through Paralian Not Just Transgender by Liam Klenk Don't take that as I hated the book. He is one heckuva writer, but it felt a little like a Thanksgiving feast. Every morsel was delicious, but it was way too much all at once. This is an example where I think the concept of "Show. Don't tell" went too far. Still, he has led a fascinating life, he writes very well, and I would truly like to meet the man. I think Liam has woven an absolutely amazing bolt of cloth, but he needs help (perhaps a good editor) selecting "patterns" (I think there's more than one book here) that will turn that bolt of cloth into something that will actually be marketable and useful to different audiences. I think also that the manuscript, as is, needs to be preserved historically. His tale has amazing importance in its social context.
A refreshing and bold story.
