Manywhere
Manywhere: Stories | Morgan Thomas
1 post | 2 to read
Morgan Thomas's Manywhere features lush and uncompromising stories about characters crossing geographical borders and gender binaries. "Wonderful stories. Impressive range. Delightfully, compellingly queer."—Roxane Gay “Sparkling, imaginative, and inventive.”—Karen Thompson Walker "The vision of a singular and exciting artist."—Torrey Peters. The nine stories in Morgan Thomas’s shimmering debut collection witness Southern queer and genderqueer characters determined to find themselves reflected in the annals of history, whatever the cost. As Thomas’s subjects trace deceit and violence through Southern tall tales and their own pasts, their journeys reveal the porous boundaries of body, land, and history, and the sometimes ruthless awakenings of self-discovery. A trans woman finds her independence with the purchase of a pregnancy bump; a young Virginian flees their relationship, choosing instead to immerse themself in the life of an intersex person from Colonial-era Jamestown. A writer tries to evade the murky and violent legacy of an ancestor who supposedly disappeared into a midwifery bag, and in the uncanny title story, a young trans person brings home a replacement daughter for their elderly father. Winding between reinvention and remembrance, transition and transcendence, these origin stories resound across centuries. With warm, meticulous emotional intelligence, Morgan Thomas uncovers how the stories we borrow to understand ourselves in turn shape the people we become. Ushering in a new form of queer mythmaking, Manywhere introduces a storyteller of uncommon range and talent.

wanderinglynn Love the tote! 3y
BookNAround I hope you enjoy it all. I tried to find something for Wednesday too but I don‘t know enough about our no shouldered friends so decided it was best not to risk anything that wouldn‘t be good for her. 3y
