On this episode, the final episode of the ark audiobooks club, for now, the gang talk about “Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl”, by Andrea Lawlor. The novel follows the story of Paul/Polly Polydoris, a queer film student in Iowa in the early 1990s, who just so happens to be able to entirely change his physical gender expression by force of will alone. The story follows Paul through his sexual escapade, through a romance in a lesbian collective in Provincetown and trying to work out what exactly his deal is in San Francisco. All the while, the rolling tragedy of the AIDS crisis looms, alt-rock on the radio and Gender Trouble on the syllabus. Here to about the book this time are Jimmy Guariento, Cecilie Louise Kjølholt and one final time Macon Holt and your host Giovanna Alesandro. Thanks for listening to us chat about books for the last four and a half years!
