Often with his family, the book's central character undergoes a series of startling physical transformations, shape-shifting through figures drawn from film and television, music and books, porn flicks and comics. He is Godzilla, a Muppet, a gay white male stud, and Whitney Houston's bodyguard; the Fonz, a robot, the von Trapp family's caretaker, a Ford Bronco 4x4--and in the book's lavish climax, a one-hundred-foot-tall guitar-wielding rock star performing for an adoring troupe of fans in Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the stories, there is a pervasive questioning of the nature of identity, whether cultural, racial, sexual, gender, or all of the above, and the way it is constructed in a world filled with the white noise of pop culture. \u003ci\u003eLook Who's Morphing\u003c\/i\u003e is a stylish, highly entertaining literary debut in which nothing--not even one's body--can be taken for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Cho\u003c\/b\u003e is a trans writer who began writing fiction in his mid teens in Australia, where he was influenced by the YA series Sweet Valley High.
