Sideshow Concessions is the first book from queer performer and scholar Lucas Crawford. A collection populated by the circus-like bodies and experiences of a narrator navigating rural pasts and urban presents, Sideshow Concessions is the unofficial story of someone who is both a bearded lady and the fattest man in the world.
"Sideshow Confessions is an accessible glimpse at the absurd - a clever look at a trans narrative which explores its challenges without drowning in them...
Crawford's sense of humour is a breath of fresh air."-Broken Pencil
"Sideshow Concessions is fresh, honest, heartbreaking, and funny, with turns of phrase equally intelligent and moving."-Karen Solie
