\u201cThe journey into alternate histories, enchanted possibilities, and unexplainable metamorphoses offer their own answers, sometimes to questions you didn\u2019t ask.\u201d

\u201cA beautiful and mystifying collection of stories that arrives at a time when it\u2019s much needed.\u201d
\n\u2014Nour Abi-Nakhoul, Montreal Review of Books<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAngus 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.\u201d
\n\u2014Cleo Peterson, The Ex-Puritan<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCallum Angus is one of the younger writers I\u2019m 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.\u201d
\n\u2014Garth Greenwell, author of Cleanness<\/em> and What Belongs to You<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHow did we do without A Natural History of Transition for so long?\u00a0 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.\u201d

A Natural History of Transition<\/em> is a collection of short stories that disrupts the notion that trans people can only have one transformation. Like the landscape studied over eons, change does not have an expiration date for these trans characters, who grow as tall as buildings, turn into mountains, unravel hometown mysteries, and give birth to cocoons. Portland-based author Callum Angus infuses his work with a mix of alternative history, horror, and a reality heavily dosed with magic.<\/p>\n

Callum Angus<\/strong> is a trans writer and editor currently based in Portland, Oregon. His work has appeared in Nat. Brut<\/i>, West Branch<\/i>, LA Review of Books<\/i>, Catapult<\/i>, The Common<\/i>, Seventh Wave Magazine<\/i> and elsewhere.

He is the founding editor of the journal smoke and mold<\/i>.<\/p>\n
