"How would you describe Dolores to somebody who's never met her?
Well, there are two Doloreses. One is a literary character, and while I was doing all this cross-dressing and making these works of so-called art, I was also writing a novel, which may or may not ever be published. It's called How You Are. It began with my present and then imagined an alternative future in which being Dolores was the most important thing to me, and then I eventually became a transgender Mexican pr******te, who came to a very bad end. It was so interesting imagining stuff, talking to the pr******tes, writing descriptions, and just trying to make everything come out as grim and terrible as I could! Do you believe that people have more than one personality, or that, say, an actor playing a role becomes that role, or is still the actor? What would you say?"

Vollmann has joined the mujahideen in Afghanistan, smoked crack with pr******tes, and even became an FBI Unabomber suspect. Now, he's taken on a different type of exploration through his female alter-ego Dolores, the subject of his first gallery exhibition at Steven Wolf Fine Art.
