“Going to Trinidad” by Granby author Martin Smith is now on sale. The new nonfiction book focuses on a doctor and his protégé, who both performed gender-confirming surgeries in an unlikely southern Colorado town for over four decades, along with two of those patients.
After moving to Granby five years ago, Martin Smith began hearing stories about Trinidad, the unlikely home to what the New York Times once called “the sex-change capital of the world.”
A veteran journalist and former senior editor of the Los Angeles Times Magazine, Smith had already written five novels and four nonfiction books. His writing process tends to focus on the news of the time, and his newest book, “Going to Trinidad,” was no different.
