Transformation and the Queer Latinx Body in the Collected Works of Anna-Marie McLemore

This chapter examines Anna-Marie McLemore’s corpus of current work. Woven into McLemore’s books are fantastic bodies that emblematize the chapter’s theory. In looking broadly at McLemore’s works, this chapter demonstrates the saliency of this motion from transformed bodies to outward change, as well as to highlight the wealth of queer fiction they provide. McLemore’s texts underscore the transformative power inherent in the queer, Latinx body.
