I read Auto Da Fay some time back and was amused and entertained by accounts of her life. She also has another book Mantrapped, which she incorporates some of these accounts, interweaving them into the fictional plot of a man who switched body with a woman when they passed each other on some stairway. I think you would enjoy that book.
