Detalii produs

A hilarious and poignant memoir grappling with family, disability, and coming of age in two closets-as a gay man and as a man living with cerebral palsy Greg Marshall''''s early years were pretty bizarre. Rewind the VHS tapes (this is the nineties) and you''''ll see a lopsided teenager limping across a high school stage, or in a wheelchair after leg surgeries, pondering why he''''s crushing on half of the Utah Jazz. Add to this home video footage a mom clacking away at her newspaper column between chemos, a dad with ALS, and a cast of foulmouthed siblings. Fast forward the tape and you''''ll find Marshall happily settled into his life as a gay man only to discover he''''s been living in another closet his whole life: he has cerebral palsy. Here, in the hot mess of it all, lies Greg Marshall''''s wellspring of wit and wisdom. Leg is an extraordinarily funny and insightful memoir from a daring new voice. Packed with outrageous stories of a singular childhood, it is also a unique examination of what it means to transform when there are parts of yourself you can''''t change, a moving portrait of a family in crisis, and a tale of resilience of spirit. In Marshall''''s deft hands, we see a story both personal and universal-of being young and wanting the world, even when the world doesn''''t feel like yours to want.
