Leg

- The Story of a Limb and the Boy Who Grew from It
Af: Greg Marshall Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

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.
