When I first encountered the work of Torrey Peters, I was struck by how she writes about gender with a fascinating duality—part intellectual, part provocateur. Her debut Detransition, Baby (One World, 2021), was framed as a trans soap opera but reached far beyond, tapping into something deeper and more complicated. Now, her follow-up, Stag Dance(Random House, 2025), arrives when transgender rights are under even more relentless attack.

What’s left of art in Toronto? Since November 2023, four curators no longer hold their positions at contemporary art institutions in Toronto. Anishinaabe curator Wanda Nanibush’s “departure,” as the Globe and Mail put it, from the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) that month was followed several weeks later by the resignation of Inuk curator Taqralik Partridge from the same institution. Their exits left the AGO with neither an Indigenous curator nor a specialist in Indigenous art.

When it comes to queer coming-of-age stories, often the prose is intertwined with the juxtaposition of desire—a physical desire and an equal desire to keep one’s attraction a secret.
