'Spellbinding ... I loved this book' Brit Bennett, New York Times-bestselling author of The Vanishing Half
'Peters confronts the unruliness of our desires' New Yorker
Torrey Peters is back with a bold exploration of trans identity through the ages. From the adventures of a lonely logger who, deep in the forest, joins his workmates to dance dressed as a woman, to an obsessive boarding-school romance, to the dizzying spectacle of a gender apocalypse brought about an unstable ex-girlfriend, Peters' keen eye for the rough edges of trans community and desire reveals fresh possibilities. Acidly funny and breathtaking in its scope, with the inventive audacity of Lauren Groff or Jennifer Egan, Stag Dance provokes, unsettles and delights.
