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. Fast 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e         \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeg is an extraordinarily funny and insightful memoir from a daring new voice. 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 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\/p\u003e","brand":"Greg Marshall","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43805782671603,"sku":"9781398716353","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781398716353.jpg?v=1686808861","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/leg-greg-marshall-9781398716353","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
