Proximity

This book contains 94 letters to a man named A. Each one introduces a new sexual partner, and asks a new question about our relationship to desire. Through the author’s interrogation of their affair with A, a married writer expecting his first child, this book also explores the role systemic forces play in our most intimate power structures. Using unabashed language around the body these fragments explore violence, morality, euphoria, and the inevitable shame that dogs human desire.
