Grace Lavery is a reformed druggie, an unreformed omnisexual chaos Muppet, and 100 percent, all-natural, synthetic female hormone monster. As soon as she solves her "penis problem," she begins receiving anonymous letters, seemingly sent by a cult of sinister clowns, and sets out on a magical mystery tour to find the source of these surreal missives. Misadventures abound: Grace performs in a David Lynch remake of Sunset Boulevard and is reprogrammed as a sixties femmebot; she writes a Juggalo Ghostbusters prequel and a socialist manifesto disguised as a porn parody of a quiz show. Or is it vice versa? As Grace fumbles toward a new trans identity, she tries on dozens of different voices, creating a coat of many colors.
What The Reviewers Say
Barry Pierce,
Irish Times (IRE)
Please Miss...happily sits within the current wave while simultaneously standing entirely on its own.
Sarah Ditum,
The Times (UK)
This is not a book that can be bothered with the niceties.
Publishers Weekly
A surreal speculative memoir that’s by turns engrossing and impenetrable.
