The show is equal parts investigation into the craft of writing and conversation about the topics of an author’s work. \nABOUT STAG DANCE \nIn this collection of one novel and three novellas\, Torrey Peters’s keen eye for the rough edges of community and desire push the limits of trans writing.In Stag Dance\, the titular novel\, a group of restless lumberjacks working in an illegal winter logging outfit plan a dance that some of them will volunteer to attend as women. When the broadest\, strongest\, plainest of the axmen announces his intention to dance as a woman\, he finds himself caught in a strange rivalry with a pretty young jack\, provoking a cascade of obsession\, jealousy\, and betrayal that will culminate on the big night in an astonishing vision of gender and transition.Three startling novellas surround Stag Dance: “Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones” imagines a gender apocalypse brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend. In “The Chaser\,” a secret romance between roommates at a Quaker boarding school brings out intrigue and cruelty. In the last novella\, “The Masker\,” a party weekend on the Las Vegas strip turns dark when a young crossdresser must choose between two guides: a handsome mystery man who objectifies her in thrilling ways\, or a cynical veteran trans woman offering unglamorous sisterhood.Acidly funny and breathtaking in its scope\, with the inventive audacity of George Saunders or Jennifer Egan\, Stag Dance provokes\, unsettles\, and delights. \n \n Click Here To Learn More\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Torrey Peters is the author of the novel Detransition\, Baby\, which won the 2021 PEN/Hemingway award for debut fiction and was named a Best Book of the Century by the New York Times.
