there is just no one who uses words or thinks thoughts like Joey Comeau. as somebody on Autostraddle once wrote, Comeau's writing is queer in every sense of the word. I like A Softer World, but I think he's even better at longer-form writing. you could think of this book as erotica, maybe, in that all the stories have sex in them. but they also have math and drama and tension and office supply stores and meteor showers and juvenile delinquents. oh, and time travelling to try to seduce Patricia Highsmith. hello.

it's awkward and felt incomplete in a lot of places but it is also 80 pages of short smut stories by one of the creators of "a softer world" so i don't know what i expected

you know that joke about how the faces men make during orgasm are god's practical joke, this book is like a longer version of that joke.

This book is about sex and relationships.
It's not sexy or romantic.
It's quirky and weird and real.
This book shows sex for what it is.
It shows how people are different and turned on by different things.
It's not one of my thousand romance novels where sex is the coming together of a great and powerful love.
It's people, doing what they lust.
