Stag Dance by Torrey Peters review – genre games and gender mischief The follow-up to Detransition, Baby is a collection of short works ranging from dystopia to romance that delight in complicating identity politics

'Peters seems to delight in complicating liberal identity politics, refusing ever to sanitise her work or narrow her focus, and glorying in some truly rollicking prose'

A stellar @theguardian.com review for @torreypeters.bsky.social's new book #StagDance 🦌💗

Torrey Peters doesn’t care about feel-good representation The author’s new book, Stag Dance, is a genre-spanning exploration of the messy boundaries between trans and cis identity

"I don’t think a lot of the experiences of transness are unique to being trans – there are all sorts of people looking in the mirror and thinking, 'why does my body look this way?'"

Don't miss this fantastic @dazeddigital.com interview with #StagDance author @torreypeters.bsky.social 🦌

Bestselling author Torrey Peters is back with Stag Dance—a bold novel + three gripping stories that push the boundaries of trans storytelling.

#StagDance by #TorreyPeters is making me think about how much of who we are is painfully shaped by the happenstance of our physicality. Who would I be if I looked different? How would that shape me? How would it fail to shape me?

Torrey Peters: ‘Being trans is a constellation of feelings that we all have’ The Women’s Prize-nominated author Torrey Peters speaks to Hannah Ewens about horny lumberjacks, creating work for a dark political future in the US and why she won’t stop writing from the trans female perspective

'To me, the basis of being trans is not feelings that are specific to trans people. I think it’s a particular constellation of feelings that we all have'

Had the privilege of narrating ‘The Chaser’ story for STAG DANCE. It’s out today. It’s beautiful, ugly and visceral, as so often boyhood and the shock-collar of masculinity is. Thank you to Torrey Peters and PRH Audio. 🦌🐖 #StagDance #TheChaser #audiobook
