Summary:

"In Stag Dance, the titular novel, a group of restless lumberjacks working in an illegal winter logging outfit plan a dance that some of them will volunteer to attend as women. When the broadest, strongest, plainest of the axmen announces his intention to dance as a woman, he finds himself caught in a strange rivalry with a pretty young jack, provoking a cascade of obsession, jealousy, and betrayal that will culminate on the big night in an astonishing vision of gender and transition. Three startling stories surround Stag Dance: 'Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones' imagines a gender apocalypse brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend. In 'The Chaser,' a secret romance between roommates at a Quaker boarding school brings out intrigue and cruelty. In the last story, 'The Masker,' a party weekend on the Las Vegas strip turns dark when a young crossdresser must choose between two guides: a handsome mystery man who objectifies her in thrilling ways, or a cynical veteran trans woman offering unglamorous sisterhood"-- Provided by publisher.
