'One of the most exciting - and one of the most fun - novels of the decade.' - Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to YouIt’s 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 flâneur with a rich dating life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut Paul’s also got a secret: he’s a shapeshifter. Oscillating wildly from Riot Grrrl to leather cub, Women’s 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 – 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFormat: P\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003ehed: 2018, UK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003eer: Picador\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 352\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 9781529007671\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andrea Lawlor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56988239724875,"sku":null,"price":13.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/8755\/1819\/files\/9781529007671.jpg?v=1775746132","url":"https:\/\/desirelinesbookstore.com\/products\/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl","provider":"desirelines books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
