It?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 dyke best friend, makes zines, and is a fl?neur with a rich dating life. But 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. Andrea Lawlor?s debut novel offers a speculative history of early 90s identity politics during the heyday of ACT UP and Queer Nation.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.
