Paul Takes the Mortal Form of a Girl by Andrea Lawlor
Itβs 1993 and Paul Polydoris tends bar at the only gay club in a university town thrumming with politics and partying. He studies queer theory, has a lesbian best friend, makes zines, and is a flΓ’neur with a rich dating life. But Paulβs also got a secret: heβs a shapeshifter. Oscillating wildly from Riot Grrrl to leather cub, Womenβs Studies major to trade, Paul transforms his body at will in a series of adventures that take him from Iowa City to Boystown to Provincetown and finally to San Francisco β a journey through the deep queer archives of struggle and pleasure.
Paul Takes the Form of A Mortal Girl is a riotous, razor-sharp bildungsroman whose hero/ine wends his way through a world gutted by loss, pulsing with music, and opening into an array of intimacy and connections.
