* A MOST-ANTICIPATED SUMMER READ SELECTED BY * Washington Post *Buzzfeed * Bustle * The Advocate * LitHub * Bookriot * Electric Literature * and more!*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\'Leg is intimate (and I mean that in all ways), insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny.\' - SCOTT SIMON, NPR\'One hell of an entertaining book.\' - BUZZFEED, Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Books of 2023\'Greg Marshall is one helluva storyteller . . . bright, bold, and beauitful.\' -ISAAC FITZGERALD\'A strange, smutty, hilarious, beautiful, compassionate, provoking, big-hearted, sharp-tongued, original, brilliant memoir. I hated to see it end.\' - ELIZABETH McCRACKENGreg 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.
