**The irresistible follow-up to the hit debut novel Detransition, Baby**
Four exciting stories about trans* experiences and coming-outs. The first impressive short story is about a trans woman and patient zero of a very contagious virus that causes people to stop producing hormones. The third and longest lumberjack story shows beautifully trans*-related euphoria moments of a lumberjack. What these very different stories have in common is that they bring us incredibly close to the protagonists and get us to empathize with them. (Rezi von Anton)

Verlagsbeschreibung:
Deep in the forest, a group of restless lumberjacks working an illegal logging outfit plan a winter dance that some will volunteer to attend as women; the broadest, strongest axeman finds himself caught in a rivalry with a pretty, young jack that culminates in jealousy, betrayal and an astonishing spectacle of transition. Meanwhile, in other times and places, the gender apocalypse is brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend; an illicit boarding-school romance surfaces intrigue and cruelty; and a Las Vegas party weekend turns dark when a young crossdresser must choose between a thrilling mystery man or a veteran trans woman offering unglamorous sisterhood.
In this quartet of tales, Torrey Peters' keen eye for the rough edges of desire reveals fresh possibilities. Acidly funny, boldly inventive and breathtaking in scope, Stag Dance provokes and unsettles, inspires and delights.
