Stag Dance is a difficult title to describe while accurately encapsulating the range that Torrey Peters shows across three short stories and the titular novel. Spanning multiple genres, time periods, and locations, what they all have in common is illuminating elements of the transfeminine experience through a wry and brilliant lens. The novel Stag Dance is especially engrossing, set in an illegal logging camp during the dead of winter, when the head of the outfit decides to plan a dance to boost their spirits—one that several volunteers will choose to attend as women. This novel, along with the accompanying stories, is expertly crafted and reveals much about trans identities, communities, and desire.
