The New York Times/By ANAND GIRIDHARADAS  JULY 20, 20   /courtesy of Brynn Tannehill

"Sgt. Kennedy Ochoa, a 25-year-old intelligence analyst for the United States Army, keeps America's secrets by day. By night, he keeps his own.

Among them: that every morning feels like Halloween; that his voice hasn't become a baritone because of steroids, as his colleagues joke, but testosterone; that he's not really taking the hormone to gain weight; that he didn't change his given name to something more ambiguous last year solely because he admired the president; that he skips evening socials because at day's end the woman he still pretends to be is exhausted, and the man he is becoming wants some time alone with Netflix"
