The Wild Boys by Bertrand Mandico from 2017 is about five likely lads who murder their English teacher and get sent off to a tropical island where weird shit happens. My old co-host Mallory Schjølberg joins me to talk about it. Enjoy! The recommendations for this episode are: "Tallahassee" (album) by The Mountain Goats "Detransition, Baby" written by Torrey Peters

Stag Dance, the latest novel from trans writer Torrey Peters, is made up of three short stories and the provocative titular tale of male loggers exploring their sexualities together. 

Today we are putting on our public intellectual hats for Torrey Peters, author of "Detransition, Baby" and whose incredible new book "Stag Dance" is available now. She brings insights that will potentially take years to fully grasp. Things like how all marriages can be straight if the divorce takes long enough. Or how there's no such thing as "the big moment" despite what the mainstream media will try to tell you. Or (and this is potentially the most important) how there's a whole community of nasty discord users who have yet to be brought to light by the proper channels. Well that ends here and now, enjoy the most prestigious episode of podcasting ever made.

Torrey Peters

Suri reviews the novella Stag Dance by Torrey Peters, the follow-up publication to Peters' Women's Prize-nominated Detransition, Baby. The novella is a collection of acidicly sharp short stories that trace the 'rough edges' of trans experiences. Suri highly recommends this read so whakarongo mai nei! Thanks to our friends at Time Out Bookstore.

Trans stories are not confined to political rhetoric and headlines. The world of creative writing is replete with narratives that explore complex worlds of gender and how identity intersects with people's lives and relationships. In a new collection of one novel and three stories, bestselling author Torrey Peters's keen eye for the rough edges of community and desire push the limits of trans writing.  In Stag Dance, the titular novel, a group of lumberjacks working in an illegal winter logging outfit plan a dance that some of them will attend as women. When the most unlikely of the axmen announces his intention to dance as a woman, he finds himself caught in a strange rivalry, inviting a cascade of obsession, jealousy, and betrayal that culminates on the big night in an exploration of gender and transition. A trio of shorter tales surround Stag Dance: “Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones” imagines a gender apocalypse brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend. “The Chaser” presents a secret romance between roommates at a Quaker boarding school, and “The Masker” details a Vegas party weekend that turns dark when a young crossdresser must choose between two guides: a mystery man who thrills but objectifies her, or a veteran trans woman who offers sisterhood and cynicism. Peters' talk and work is especially timely surrounding ongoing conversations about trans rights in our nation but is an invitation to any fiction reader. Torrey Peters is the bestselling author of the novel Detransition, Baby, which won the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel and was named one of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times. It was also a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Prize, a finalist for the Brooklyn Public Library Book Prize, and longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction. She has an MFA from the University of Iowa and an MA in comparative literature from Dartmouth. Peters rides a pink motorcycle and splits her time between Brooklyn and an off-grid cabin in Vermont. Aster Olsen is the author of the novella Performance Review. She lived most of her life in the gorgeous swampy parts of Florida people don't visit on vacation, but now lives in Seattle, where she spends her time swimming in alpine lakes alongside aquatic insect larvae. A professional scientist, she rejects the binary oppositional positioning of STEM and Art and seeks to collapse and expand imposed categories and narratives to further understanding. Her writing is found in Lilac Peril, Hey Alma, Autostraddle, Inner Worlds, Itch.io, and elsewhere. She is the creator, editor, and publisher of TRANSplants Zine, a zine series about transness and place, and runs the trans open mic reading and art series please (t)read with me.  Find more at asterolsen.com.

Eric Newman speaks with Torrey Peters about her new story collection, Stag Dance, which spans genre, time, and place to explore the shifting sands of gender, sex, desire, and identity. From a post-apocalyptic world in which everyone is trans to a pirate logging camp in the early 1900s where desire and gender explode in surprising ways, the stories in Stag Dance plumb the murky and often ugly feelings that contradict the “good politics” narrative of the transgender experience. Eric and Torrey discuss how our desires and identities often remain unintelligible to us, how the materialist force of capitalism shapes those desires and our relationships with others, and what history might tell us about today's unprecedented assault on trans rights and lives. 

What does it even mean to be trans? That's the first question Torrey Peters asks readers in her new book, Stag Dance, and it's the question that Brittany and Torrey everyone should be asking themselves right now.Stag Dance is a collection of four novellas that poke into the dark corners of gender, delving into taboo topics and investigating the line between trans and cis. Brittany sits down with Torrey to discuss Stag Dance, what makes a transition, and the raised stakes for trans people in the current political climate.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Journalist, broadcaster and author Zing Tsjeng and poet Yomi Ṣode join presenter Harriett Gilbert to talk about the books they love. Zing chooses a book set in the heart of New York City's queer community. Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters is centred on the lives of Reece, a trans woman, her ex Ames, and her ex's new lover, Katrina. Yomi recommends Caleb Azumah Nelson's debut book, Open Water, a lyrical romance story set in South East London. And Harriett's choice is Intimacies, a novel by Katie Kitamura, where the main character is an interpreter at the International Court in The Hague, where unease bubbles below the surface of the novel's cool narration.

What is transgender literature? Is it simply works by writers who identify as transgender? Or might it be thought of as a lens to read through, or a certain kind of attention? If it is the latter: in what tradition might we locate transgender literature?In this talk, American author Torrey Peters will argue for finding the roots of current transfeminine literature in older works that explore the performance of masculinity, works that in fact have been popularly accepted as containing little ambivalence about the meanings of gender. The primary focus will be on Ernest Hemingway, but with slight detours into Per Petterson, Thomas Mann, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Evelyn Waugh, and the pharmacology of steroid regimens taken by extreme bodybuilders.Torrey Peters rocketed into the international literary scene with her debut novel Detransition, Baby, a warm and intelligent exploration of gender, parenthood and trans life. The novel was among other prizes nominated for The Women's Prize for Fiction, and is celebrated for its complex trans characters and for painting a truthful picture of the New York trans scene.

Hva er translitteratur? Er det bare litteratur av forfattere som identifiserer seg som trans, eller kan det tenkes som en linse å lese gjennom, eller en egen type oppmerksomhet? Og hvis det er det siste: Hvilken tradisjon kan vi plassere translitteratur innenfor?I dette foredraget vil den amerikanske forfatteren Torrey Peters argumentere for at røttene til moderne translitteratur kan finnes hos tidligere verk som utforsker performativ maskulinitet, men som jevnt over har blitt lest som verk uten nevneverdig utforskning av kjønn og kjønnsidentitet. Foredraget vil hovedsakelig fokusere på Ernest Hemingway, men med små krumspring til Per Petterson, Thomas Mann, Karl Ove Knausgård, Evelyn Waugh og farmakologien bak kroppsbyggeres steroidregimer.Torrey Peters braste inn på den internasjonale litteraturscenen med debutromanen Detransition, Baby (til norsk ved Kirsti Vogt), en varm og intelligent utforskning av kjønn, foreldreskap og livet som trans. Romanen ble blant annet nominert til The Women's Prize for Fiction, og blir hyllet for komplekse transkarakterer og for å tegne et sannferdig bilde av transmiljøet i New York. Hosted on Acast.

Torrey Peters har gjort brakdebut med boka Detransition Baby, som er den første romanen av en transkvinne som når bredt ut på de internasjonale bestselgerlistene. Peters viser oss kompleksitetene i livet som trans, og sammenligner det å gå gjennom kjønnskorrigerende behandling, med cis-kvinner som gjennomgår en skilsmisse: Alt du trodde om hvordan fremtiden din skulle være må forkastes, og du må skape en helt ny identitet der samfunnet ikke har noen ferdige maler.Romanen handler om transkvinnen Reese som alltid har ønsket seg barn, hennes transkjønnede ekskjæreste Ames og hans gravide kjæreste. Kan de få til å være foreldre sammen, og hvordan skal i så fall det se ut? Hvem skal være rollemodellene? Hvordan skape et liv som transkvinne når så mange dører fortsatt er lukket?Detransition, Baby er nå ute på norsk i Kirsti Vogts oversettelse, og gir unik innsikt i hverdag og dilemmaer transpersoner står ovenfor. Romanen ble blant annet nominert til The Women's Prize for Fiction, og blir hyllet for komplekse transkarakterer og for å tegne et sannferdig bilde av transmiljøet i New York.Carline Tromp er forfatter, litteraturkritiker og redaksjonssekretær i Klassekampen, og møter Peters til samtale om kjønn, seksualitet, familie og å begynne på nytt.Samtalen introduseres av Christine Marie Jentoft, samfunnsdebattant og rådgiver for kjønnsmangfold i FRI, som har vært en viktig stemme i den norske transdebatten i over 10 år. Hun ble tildelt PKIs Ærespris for sin innsats for likeverd for LHBT-personer i 2022, og til Årets Skeive Forbilde på Regnbuegalla i 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Torrey Peters rocketed into the international literary scene with her debut novel Detransition, Baby, the first novel written by a trans woman to become an international best seller.

Can the three of them be parents together, and if so, what would that look like? Who are their role models?

Anna and Annie discuss the Miles Franklin Literary Award winner and react to the 2022 Booker Prize Longlist. Our book of the week is Bolla by Pajtim Statovci translated by David Hackston. Set in Kosovo, this novel centres on Arsim, an Albanian man who falls in love with Milos, a Serbian man, just before the Kosovan war.  It won the Finlandia Prize in its original Finnish. We echo the praise of Torrey Peters:  "Devastating in the most beautiful ways ... you are in the hands of an absolute artist." Coming up: our recommendations for Women in Translation Month.

In Episode 117, Annie Hartnett, author of Unlikely Animals, shares the intriguing backstory behind her new novel. She is wonderfully candid and shares interesting tidbits from the germ of the idea, through some of the editing process, all the way to the finished book and finding a publisher.  This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights How interesting information transitions to the idea to write a book. The importance of voice in her stories. How she infuses comedy into her writing and embraces the potential for silliness. Annie shares the experience of having her second book under her belt and how that affects her confidence going forward. The difficulty in talking about and promoting a multi-faceted book. Cover design and summary decisions for Unlikely Animals. Why she chose to tell the story in the collective voice. The atmospheric place she lived when she began writing Unlikely Animals. Annie answers lightning round questions about some delightfully weird elements in the book.
