‘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
‘Potent and surprising and takes no prisoners’ Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House
From the adventures of a lonely logger who, deep in the forest, joins his workmates to dance dressed as a woman, to the story of an obsessive boarding-school romance, to the dizzying spectacle of a gender apocalypse brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend, Peters’ keen eye for the rough edges of trans community and desire reveals fresh possibilities. Acidly funny and breath-taking in its scope, with the inventive audacity of Lauren Groff or Jennifer Egan, Stag Dance provokes, unsettles and delights.
Praise for Torrey Peters:
‘Utterly savage and lacerating while also conveying endlessly expanding compassion’ Garth Greenwell
‘Torrey Peters captures the grandiose, heartfelt and sometimes mangled aspirations of queer and trans people’ Chris Kraus
