{"product_id":"leg-by-greg-marshall-1","title":"Leg by Greg Marshall","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreg 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFast 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePacked 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback \/ 304 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookish Type","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45479112540375,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/0891\/0933\/files\/9781398716346.jpg?v=1686341420","url":"https:\/\/thebookishtype.pro\/products\/leg-by-greg-marshall-1","provider":"The Bookish Type","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
