Reviews
"The characters in these stories feel fully alive; they reveal their rich and endlessly vibrant interiors through indefatigable exploration and textured thoughts. As inventive as some of Thomas' storytelling decisions can be, they are never precious or self-indulgent but serve to cast light on the characters' complex and ever shifting desires. Innovative stories that probe the ineluctable bond between storytelling and identity." -- Kirkus (starred review) "[A] visionary and keenly observed debut . . . Throughout, Thomas renders their characters' explorations in rhythmic litanies . . . [Thomas] profoundly illuminates how the characters come by the stories they tell and those they choose to tell themselves." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Wonderful stories. Impressive range. Delightfully, compellingly queer." -- Roxane Gay (via Goodreads) "Each of the stories in Manywhere is so surprising, with such range. A gorgeous chorus of voices joining to sing the vision of a singular and exciting artist." -- Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby "Sparkling, imaginative, and inventive, these stories powerfully honor the lives of people attempting to do something that is as difficult as it is profound: to live according to their own essential rhythms, to the longings of their true, authentic selves. Rich in beauty and insight, and generous in spirit, this work feels genuinely, thrillingly new." -Karen Thompson Walker, author of The Dreamers "Morgan Thomas is an artist of landscape, from the humid peculiarities of the American South, to the bodies and imaginations of these urgent, searching characters. I was awed by the kinetic, alive, innovative, and spell-casting stories in Manywhere, a debut collection that reads like an opus." -- Laura van den Berg, author of I Hold a Wolf by the Ears "Each story here is a gem, glimmering and precious to behold, but gathered together, Manywhere is a profusion of diamonds. The book is very queer, very well-written, and very goddamn good. Morgan Thomas is a wildly talented writer and Manywhere is a knockout." --Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth " Manywhere is a kaleidoscopic collection that imagines queer pasts, presents, and futures with empathy, transformative language, and brilliant craft. Each story contains an expansive sense of history, place, and possibility. Morgan Thomas' innovative storytelling creates queer lineages and a stunning plurality of voices, showing us that a collection can also be a community." -- K-Ming Chang, author of Bestiary, "The characters in these stories feel fully alive; they reveal their rich and endlessly vibrant interiors through indefatigable exploration and textured thoughts. As inventive as some of Thomas' storytelling decisions can be, they are never precious or self-indulgent but serve to cast light on the characters' complex and ever shifting desires. Innovative stories that probe the ineluctable bond between storytelling and identity." -- Kirkus (starred review) "[A] visionary and keenly observed debut . . . Throughout, Thomas renders their characters' explorations in rhythmic litanies . . . [Thomas] profoundly illuminates how the characters come by the stories they tell and those they choose to tell themselves." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Comic and melancholy, Thomas' debut collection is about people preoccupied with their inchoate desires, wanting to feel a sense of arrival with no fixed destination." -- Michelle Hart, Electric Literature "Thomas (who identifies as genderqueer) creates vignettes that offer a deeper under-standing of gender-nonconforming folks, and how they navigate a world that is not always welcoming." -- Adrienne Urbanski, Bust "Wonderful stories. Impressive range. Delightfully, compellingly queer." -- Roxane Gay (via Goodreads) "Each of the stories in Manywhere is so surprising, with such range. A gorgeous chorus of voices joining to sing the vision of a singular and exciting artist." -- Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby "Sparkling, imaginative, and inventive, these stories powerfully honor the lives of people attempting to do something that is as difficult as it is profound: to live according to their own essential rhythms, to the longings of their true, authentic selves.

I am particularly drawn to Thomas's exploration of desire and belonging, and the immersive spaces (physical, historical, psychological) their characters move through." -- Elinam Agbo, Kenyon Review, "Sparkling, imaginative, and inventive, these stories powerfully honor the lives of people attempting to do something that is as difficult as it is profound: to live according to their own essential rhythms, to the longings of their true, authentic selves.

More than once while reading, I gasped . . . More than once, I was angry at Thomas for being so talented, jealous that I'd never write fiction this well, disappointed that there weren't 25 more stories to read. More than once, I was moved to tears." -- Abeni Jones, Autostraddle "Comic and melancholy, Thomas' debut collection is about people preoccupied with their inchoate desires, wanting to feel a sense of arrival with no fixed destination." -- Michelle Hart, Electric Literature "The characters in these stories feel fully alive; they reveal their rich and endlessly vibrant interiors through indefatigable exploration and textured thoughts.

Thomas takes extraordinary care with syntax to let queer characters fully express themselves on the page.

Synopsis
FINALIST FOR THE PEN/ROBERT W. BINGHAM PRIZE, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES ART SIEDENBAUM AWARD FOR FIRST FICTION, THE 2022 LAMBDA LITERARY PRIZE FOR TRANSGENDER FICTION, AND THE 2023 PUBLISHING TRIANGLE EDMUND WHITE AWARD FOR DEBUT FICTION "These breathlessly imaginative stories are all the more remarkable for the elegant, organic ways in which the author unhooks language from its entrenched assumptions about men and women." -- The New York Times Book Review Morgan Thomas's Manywhere features lush and uncompromising stories about characters crossing geographical borders and gender binaries. The nine stories in Morgan Thomas's shimmering debut collection witness Southern queer and genderqueer characters determined to find themselves reflected in the annals of history, whatever the cost. As Thomas's subjects trace deceit and violence through Southern tall tales and their own pasts, their journeys reveal the porous boundaries of body, land, and history, and the sometimes ruthless awakenings of self-discovery. A trans woman finds her independence with the purchase of a pregnancy bump; a young Virginian flees their relationship, choosing instead to immerse themself in the life of an intersex person from Colonial-era Jamestown. A writer tries to evade the murky and violent legacy of an ancestor who supposedly disappeared into a midwifery bag, and in the uncanny title story, a young trans person brings home a replacement daughter for their elderly father. Winding between reinvention and remembrance, transition and transcendence, these origin stories resound across centuries. With warm, meticulous emotional intelligence, Morgan Thomas uncovers how the stories we borrow to understand ourselves in turn shape the people we become. Ushering in a new form of queer mythmaking, Manywhere introduces a storyteller of uncommon range and talent.
