Travesti este un studiu de caz despre un copil hermafrodit, dar şi o explorare a întunecatei sexualităţi adolescentine. Mai presus de orice, însă, acest mic roman, care m-a obsedat şi m-a chinuit mai mult decât orice altă carte a mea, e anabasis-ul meu, drumul meu ascuns şi întortochiat către centrul adânc îngropat al fiinţei mele. Travesti este şi portalul către Orbitor. Trilogia mea n-ar fi putut exista fără exerciţiul de sinceritate aproape sinucigaşă de aici.

Die Briten konnten somit den gesamten Funkverkehr zwischen Dönitz und seinen U-Booten mitlesen. Der einzige Vorteil der Deutschen Kriegsmarine war jedoch, dass die Briten im Anfangsstadium noch sehr viele Stunden für die Entschlüsselung nur eines einzigen Funkspruches brauchten.
