Greg Marshall's early years were pretty bizarre. Rewind the VHS
tapes (this is the nineties) 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.
