Stag Dance by Torrey Peters
Stag Dance is a collection of one novella and three stories that probe gender, desire, and community. The title novella follows a crew of winter loggers who plan a dance where some will present as women, setting off a rivalry and emotional upheaval that reframes identity and relationships. The three linked stories—imagining a gender-triggered upheaval, a tense boarding-school romance, and a Las Vegas weekend between a young crossdresser and two contrasting guides—explore transition, power, and longing with sharp humor and emotional intensity.
