'So good I want to scream' - Carmen Maria Machado
'Irresistible ... Perhaps Detransition, Baby is the first great
trans realist novel? Witty, elegant and rigorously plotted,
Peters's book breezily plays with the structural conventions of
literary realism ... Peters's novel approaches the well trodden
topic of baby fever, and although it renders the specificity of
trans community and subjectivity in vivid, electric prose, its real
appeal is much wider.' - Grace Lavery
'The smartest novel I've read in ages ... it manages to be utterly
savage & lacerating while also conveying endlessly expanding
compassion. It's kind of a miracle.' - Garth Greenwell
'Detransition, Baby is emotionally generous, richly textured, and
deeply intelligent - a vibrant and kaleidoscopic portrait of
complicated women and their colliding lives.' - Claire Lombardo,
New York Times-bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
'Detransition, Baby updates and transcends (trans-scends!) the Sex
and the City model, while fully delivering its many satisfactions!
... A noteworthy advance in the history of the novel!' - Elif
