LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2021
A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 100 BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Shortlisted for the 2022 National Book Critics' Circle John Leonard Prize for best first book
As heard on BBC Radio 4's Front Row
'A voraciously knowing, compulsively readable novel' Chris Kraus
'Tremendously funny and sexy as hell' Juliet Jacques
'I loved this very smart book from start to finish, with its beautifully drawn, complicated, and winning characters.' Madeleine Miller
Reese nearly had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York, a job she didn't hate. She'd scraped together a life previous generations of trans women could only dream of; the only thing missing was a child. Then everything fell apart and three years on Reese is still in self-destruct mode, avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men.
When her ex calls to ask if she wants to be a mother, Reese finds herself intrigued. After being attacked in the street, Amy de-transitioned to become Ames, changed jobs and, thinking he was infertile, started an affair with his boss Katrina. Now Katrina's pregnant. Could the three of them form an unconventional family - and raise the baby together?
Rezensionen
<b>Smart, funny, and bighearted. . . . A wonderfully original exploration of desire and the evolving shape of family [and] . . . a dishy contemporary drama.</b>
Page-turning ... Through a careful narrative that laces humour into every paragraph, Peters paints a story of LGBT identity that will be engaging to any person who has struggled to define their place in the world
t enough superlatives to heap upon this masterful work of fiction.

Sparklingly intelligent ... Detransition, Baby is for anyone who has ever reached a point of reassessment, transformation and risk
Perhaps the first great novel about the realities of being trans, this witty, savage yet compassionate story is essential, exciting reading
<i>Detransition Baby </i>is somehow both biting and deeply tender all at once... and feels up-to-the-second relevant. A lot of people recommended this book to me, and I will be recommending it to many, many others, queer, trans, straight, cis
The distinctive storyline in this page-turner navigates gender, sex, relationships (from romantic to familial), and the commonly unaccepted ideas surrounding them.
astute, witty characters.

<i>Detransition, Baby </i>updates and transcends (trans-scends!) the Sex and the City model, while fully delivering its many satisfactions! ... <b>A noteworthy advance in the history of the novel!</b>
Possibly the most hotly anticipated work of transgender fiction ever
<b>Irresistible</b> ... <b>Perhaps <i>Detransition, Baby </i>is the first great trans realist novel</b>? Witty, elegant and rigorously plotted

<b>A visceral, funny exploration of sex and gender </b>through a triad of people - trans and cis -rocked by an unexpected pregnancy
<i>Detransition, Baby</i> blows preconceived notions of the nuclear family out of the water, by questioning what personal fulfilment can and should look like in a contemporary setting ... Tantalising
Writing with alarming insight, Torrey Peters captures the grandiose, heartfelt and sometimes mangled aspirations of queer and trans people facing an unprecedented array of personal choice. By showing how gender transition (like divorce, or any transformative life event) can be simultaneously destabilizing and liberating, Peters makes trans culture relatable to all. <b>A voraciously knowing, compulsively readable novel.</b>
s fearlessly thought-provoking about gender. </b>Such a literary feat and also such a great read.

<b>Riveting, insightful, and very funny </b>... an unforgettable portrait of three women, trans and cis, who wrestle with questions of motherhood and family-making.
