A speculative memoir of gender transition and recovery from addiction, refractedthrough pop culture, queer theory, film, TV, literature, and (what feelslike) stand-up comedy - like The Argonauts caught in a hall of mirrors, with alot more sex and humour.

‘This is the queer memoir you’ve been waiting for; a dizzying mix of theoryand pastiche, metafiction and memory. Please Miss is Terry Castlemeets Lauren Slater meets Michelle Tea; hilarious and sexy and terrifyingin its brilliance. But don’t worry - Lavery is an avalanche you’ll be glad tobe buried under.’ - Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the DreamHouse

‘This book reframes the question of transition from the familiar journeyfrom A to B, and replaces that journey with a can’t-look-away performanceof wit, language, irreverence, and delight so compelling that a reader forgetsabout destinations all together.’ - Torrey Peters, author ofDetransition, Baby
