Manywhere: Stories

Manywhere: Stories - Morgan Thomas

Manywhere: Stories


Very queer, very well-written, and very goddamn good. --Kristen Arnett. Wonderful stories. Impressive range. Delightfully, compellingly queer. --Roxane Gay. "Sparkling, imaginative, and inventive." -Karen Thompson Walker. The vision of a singular and exciting artist. --Torrey Peters.

Morgan Thomas's Manywhere features lush and uncompromising stories about characters crossing geographical borders and gender binaries

The nine stories in Morgan Thomas's shimmering debut collection, Manywhere, witness Southern queer and genderqueer characters determined to find themselves reflected in the annals of history, at whatever cost. As each character traces deceit and violence through Southern tall tales and their own pasts, their journeys reveal the porous boundaries of body, land, and history, and the sometimes ruthless awakenings of self-discovery.

A trans woman finds her independence through the purchase of a pregnancy bump. A young Virginian flees their relationship, choosing instead to immerse themselves in the life of an intersex person from Colonial-era Jamestown. A young writer tries to evade the murky and violent legacy of an ancestor who supposedly disappeared into a midwifery bag. And in the uncanny title story, a young trans person brings home a replacement daughter for their elderly father.

Winding between reinvention and remembrance, transition and transcendence, these origin stories rebound across centuries. With warm, meticulous emotional intelligence, Thomas uncovers how the stories we borrow to understand ourselves in turn shape the people we become. Ushering in a new form of queer mythmaking, Manywhere introduces a storyteller of uncommon range and talent.
