“One of the most original collections I’ve read in a long time.”

“A voice like no other, musical, incisive… An imagination like no other trans-forming the world you thought you knew.”

 

In Cliff Forshaw’s new collection Trans, Ovid meets a gross-out freak circus to chat about everything from bodily modification to virtual survival: Lord Rochester’s monkey; Enigma’s horns; the Reincarnation of Saint Orlan; Kevin Cyborg; sex changes and do-it-yourself surgery.
