I really like Levatafuego's covers for my books. Detransition, Baby was equally weird and perfect. (Stag Dance translated as "Dance of the Wolves," in Spanish, a choice by the wonderful translator Cristina Pineda Huertas).

Once, while on tour in Manchester, England, three trans women burst out crying as I spoke. Turns out, due to EHRC, they had just been kicked off their local soccer team, a club in which no one won anything except for new friends, and from which no one wanted them to leave.

Sites like this are the future of real writing. We have a chance to wrestle legitimacy and culture away from the ossified tyrants who have used it to promote bigotry and state agendas, and we have to seize that chance.

my book came out in paperback yesterday, and to celebrate, I fell off my motorcycle at a very low speed and skinned a finger. In bookstores wherever quality books are sold. Stag Dance, also, is the title. I'm fine.

Hey, queer Baltimore: one of the free books in Pratt Library's summer giveaway this year is Torrey Peters' brand-new "Stag Dance". It's great. Not every branch has it but I saw it today at the Canton & Highlandtown branches and at Orleans St last week. Just show your library card to get a free copy.

A copy of Torrey Peters' new hardback story collection "Stag Dance" stands in front of a stack of the same book on a shelf. The cover is an illustration of two male deer with antlers fighting. One is lunging with its antlers and the other is turning its head with its tongue hanging out and looks scared. It has a pink ribbon tied to one antler. The author's name and the title are in bold pink block letters.

Audible named Stag Dance as one of the BEST AUDIOBOOKS OF THE YEAR (so far), and while I feel mixed on these lists--I really want to highlight the four voice actors Lee Osorio, Briggon Snow, Eileen Noonan, and Pyrrha Nicole, who brought PERFORMANCES to what could have been just a reading.

waking early to read Grapes of Wrath--which, somehow, I always thought would be hokey--but the dustbowl descriptions are gorgeous and terrifying, the capitalist anger feels righteous, and when I look up from the page the sun comes up red behind smoke and dust from Canada.

This whole thing speaks to so much I feel. But also Morgan’s term “un-woman” is so apt. The legally gendered equivalent of the undead.

It's #buyastrangerabook day! @teafaerie.bsky.social is offering to buy someone a book by Torrey Peters. These are the two currently available from my suppliers. I've added the blurb in the ALT text. If you'd like either, get in touch! UK only

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.

Reese nearly had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York, a job she didn't hate. She'd scraped together a life previous generations of trans women could only dream of; the only thing missing was a child. Then everything fell apart and three years on Reese is still in self-destruct mode, avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men.

When her ex calls to ask if she wants to be a mother, Reese finds herself intrigued. After being attacked in the street, Amy de-transitioned to become Ames, changed jobs and, thinking he was infertile, started an affair with his boss Katrina. Now Katrina's pregnant.

Could the three of them form an unconventional family - and raise the baby together?
