Leg

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 *

Greg Marshall was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. A National Endowment for the Arts Fellow in Prose, Marshall is a graduate of the Michener Center for Writers. His work has appeared in The Best American Essays and been supported by MacDowell and the Corporation of Yaddo. Leg is his first book.
