Leg is Greg Marshall's "riotous" (People) and "witty" (USA Today) memoir grappling with family, disability, and coming of age in two closets--as a gay man and as a man living with cerebral palsy. * A NOTEWORTHY 2023 MEMOIR * Washington Post * USA Today * Esquire * Buzzfeed * Debutiful * LitHub * and more! * Greg Marshall's early years were pretty bizarre. Rewind the VHS tapes (this is the '90s) 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. "Leg never slows in its energy, hope and warmth." --Washington Post "A riotous new memoir . . . A hilarious yet loving account, this book has charm for days." --People Magazine
