“The journey into alternate histories, enchanted possibilities, and unexplainable metamorphoses offer their own answers, sometimes to questions you didn’t ask.”
—Madeleine Moss, Chicago Review of Books
“A beautiful and mystifying collection of stories that arrives at a time when it’s much needed.”
—Nour Abi-Nakhoul, Montreal Review of Books
“Angus captures a feeling of transness that one too often has to dig for, or else may never see at all. His characters are simply human, flawed and imperfect, but wholly alive in their own way. To be offered the diversity of transgender experiences and bodies, when so often we are forced to take what we are given, is a delightful treat.”
—Cleo Peterson, The Ex-Puritan
“Callum Angus is one of the younger writers I’m most excited by, with a mind full of marvels and an ear to match. Every story surprises; every sentence strives gorgeously toward music. This is writing as transition, as entrancement, as transcendence.”
—Garth Greenwell, author of Cleanness and What Belongs to You
“How did we do without A Natural History of Transition for so long? Down with the medicalized so-called histories of our selves! Cal Angus has written our history as something much lusher, more fantastical, and for that reason, more true.”
—Jordy Rosenberg, author of Confessions of the Fox
