Der Bestsellererfolg aus den USA − nominiert für den Women's Fiction Prize. Reese und Amy waren ein glückliches Paar, zwei Transfrauen in New York mit dem Traum von einer Familie. Doch dann entschloss sich Amy, wieder als Mann zu leben, und die Beziehung zerbrach. Als Ames drei Jahre später seine Chefin Katrina, eine starke, unabhängige Frau, schwängert, fasst er den Plan, dieses Kind gemeinsam zu dritt aufzuziehen. Ungewöhnlich − aber machbar.

From the adventures of a lonely logger who, deep in the forest, joins his workmates to dance dressed as a woman, to the story of an obsessive boarding-school romance, to the dizzying spectacle of a gender apocalypse brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend, Peters' keen eye for the rough edges of trans community and desire reveals fresh possibilities. Acidly funny and breathtaking in its scope, with the inventive audacity of Lauren Groff or Jennifer Egan, Stag Dance provokes, unsettles and delights.
