He studies queer theory, has a dyke best friend, makes zines, and is a flaneur with a rich dating life. But Paul's also got a secret: he's a shapeshifter. Oscillating wildly from Riot Grrrl to leather cub, Paul transforms his body and his gender at will as he crossed the country––a journey and adventure through the deep queer archives of struggle and pleasure.\n\nPaul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl is a riotous, razor-sharp bildungsroman whose hero\/ine wends his\/her way through a world gutted by loss, pulsing with music, and opening into an array of intimacy and connections.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 052556618X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.052556618X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lawlor, Andrea\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
