Leg by Greg Marshall

Leg by Greg Marshall

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

This hilarious and wholly unique memoir by Greg Marshall tackles many subjects: disability, family relationships, and coming out (twice)With signature wit and humor, Marshall takes material that could be morbid in the hands of a lesser writer, and dares his readers not to laugh. He knows he's had an unconventional life, but there's no self-pity here. Instead, he embraces the absurdity of it all and leans into it, making one hell of an entertaining book. * Buzzfeed, Most Anticipated LGBTQ+ Book of 2023 *
Smart and heartfelt ... His honesty and clarity in writing about disability makes this debut one to watch. * LitHub, Most Anticipated Books of 2023 *
Greg Marshall's Leg has all the ingredients of an addictive memoir. But what separates this book from the pack is Marshall's rich and rare perspective navigating the world as a queer disabled person. Marshall delves into his unique life experiences to illustrate the all-too-relatable struggle to be your authentic self and he does it with unflinching honesty. He's one of the most exciting new voices in non-fiction. I could get lost in his brilliant brain forever. * RYAN O’CONNELL, author of Just by Looking at Him *
