In August, the Young and the Restless bookclub discusses 'Look Who's Morphing'  by Australian author Tom Cho.

S Y N O P S I S

Look Who’s Morphing is a collection of funny, playful, often outlandish fictions in which the central character undergoes a series of transformations, shape-shifting through figures drawn from film and television, music and books, porn flicks and comics. He is Godzilla, a Muppet, and Whitney Houston’s bodyguard; the Fonz, a robot, a Ford Bronco 4×4 – and, as a climax, a fifty-five metre tall guitar-wielding cock rock star, who performs for the people of Tokyo.

A C C O L A D E S 

Cho displays a fine eye for the camp and outrageous. For those on his wavelength, Cho’s book is entertaining and thought-provoking.

— The Australian

The stories capture you and have you smiling, laughing, recognising, and morphing alongside the protagonists.
