Review QuoteI love this book, in all its ecstasy, wit, and hilarity . . . The liberatory rush of Lawlor’s writing is as rare as it is contagious, not to mention HOT. Paul is on fire, and an antihero for the ages. Review QuoteDespite being unapologetically queer, is a book that deserves to break out of the LGBT speciality bookshops . . . Lawlor’s writing is evocative and urgent . . . and very funny Review QuoteI am such a fan. Andrea Lawlor’s prose is restless, muscular and playful . . . It’s a tight satisfying masterpiece Review QuotePaul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl is playful, sexy, smart, and like nothing else I—or you—have ever read before. Review QuoteFast-paced and cheeky . . . Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl is a touchingly sweet-hearted and deeply cool book . . . you ’t be able to put this book down. Review QuoteLawlor has a poet’s gift for catching quicksilver emotion in the amber of an image, a novelist’s gift for the epoch-defining detail, a mystic’s gift for inventing new language for rapture. Joyous and ever-changing, whip-smart and brilliantly perverse, Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl is quite simply one of the most exciting—and one of the most fun—novels of the decade. Review QuoteLawlor successfully mixes pop culture, gender theory, and smut, but the great achievement here is that Paul is no mere symbol but a vibrantly yearning being, “like everybody else, only more so.” Review QuoteIt’s an epic, but set in 1990s alternative communities from Iowa to San Francisco, with a brief detour via Chicago. A lot of the book is a commentary on the minutiae of subcultures. It’s a mythic structure – Paul is this seducer who has the ability to switch genders, so Paul can become Polly. It’s an insane and amazing book – it references queer literature and theory, but it’s super funny and sexy. Review QuoteIt’s not hard to see why Lawlor’s been heralded at the forefront of trans literature. This is an original addition to the trans fiction canon. Review QuoteI’m loving Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl by Andrea Lawlor. It’s pulling at my little queer midwestern heartstrings to read magical Paul navigate desire and friendship in his body that he can change into whatever shape or sex he wants. Review QuoteBest described as “90s punk Orlando”. . . The book is a pretty wild ride Review QuoteIn Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl, Andrea Lawlor manages to define queerness in a way few books have been able to achieve Review QuoteLoved this book. Smart and posing Virginia Woolf’s Orlando to 90s San Francisco, this novel of transgender metamorphosis is a wild, sexy, funny and moving story of living on the edge. Andrea Lawlor’s debut novel offers a speculative history of early 90s identity politics during the heyday of ACT UP and Queer Nation.'One of the most exciting - and one of the most fun - novels of the decade.' - Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to YouIt’s 1993 and Paul Polydoris tends bar at the only gay club in a university town thrumming with politics and partying.
