Vulture featured Andrea Lawlor’s PAUL TAKES THE FORM OF A MORTAL GIRL in their “6 New Paperbacks You Should Read Right Now” roundup, writing: “Shape-shifting meets ’90s nostalgia in this delightful experimental novel featuring a hero who can change at will into different sexual personae… Set in a college town where academic theory and pop-culture digressions are as important as racy sex scenes, Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl is a testament to the search for connection and the fluidity of identity.” Vintage reissued the book April 23, 2019; Rescue Press published the book originally on November 1, 2017.
