A hilarious yet loving account, this book has charm for days." --People Magazine Greg Marshalls early years were pretty bizarre. Rewind the VHS tapes (this is the 90s) and youll see a lopsided teenager limping across a high school stage, or in a wheelchair after leg surgeries, pondering why hes 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. Fast forward the tape and youll find Marshall happily settled into his life as a gay man only to discover hes been living in another closet his whole life: he has cerebral palsy. Here, in the hot mess of it all, lies Greg Marshalls wellspring of wit and wisdom. Extraordinarily funny and insightful, Leg is packed 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 cant change, a moving portrait of a family in crisis, and a tale of resilience of spirit. In Marshalls deft hands, we see a story both personal and universal--of being young and wanting the world, even when the world doesnt feel like yours to want. Author Biography Greg Marshall was raised in Salt Lake City. A National Endowment for the Arts Fellow in Prose, Marshall is a graduate of the Michener Center for Writers.
