About this book

Paul Polydoris can change his body at will, moving between genders and queer subcultures in this riotous reimagining of the picaresque. Set against the backdrop of 1990s activism and nightlife, the novel celebrates queer pleasure while asking profound questions about identity's fluidity. A love letter to queer community in all its forms. ## Related reading If this resonates, you might also reach for [Detransition, Baby](/products/detransition-baby/) or [The Prophets](/products/the-prophets/).
